I have been nursing a persistent back pain for the past two months. The situation has not improved despite my daily consumption of pain tablets. Kindly let me know what next to do. I am a 60-year-old grandmother.

Back pain is a common medical problem in many countries. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that may shoot down the leg. Sometimes it can come on suddenly—from an accident, a fall, or lifting something heavy, or it can develop slowly because of age-related degenerative changes in the spine.
In some cases, inflammatory arthritis disorders or other medical conditions cause back pain. Treatment varies depending on the cause and symptoms, and often there are several contributing factors. However, there are steps you can take to improve your health and lower your chance of developing chronic or long-lasting back pain.
