Prolonged lower back pain - Pleaaaase help
Dear All,

I am 25 year old married female, 60 Kg, 154 cm, I am suffering from lower back pain past one year. I am a software engineer who has to sit for 9-10 hrs daily. My pain is only while sitting and have no trouble doing anything else, like walking or sleeping or, climbing stairs, sneezing, coughing, sex or anything like that, even for hrs . I cannot avoid sitting and working as dats my job While I take leave frm office , I have no pain at all. As advised by my doctor I tok X-ray and he said there's nothing wrong and I have to exercise and did not give me any medicines. I do 15 minutes of streching exercise but pain hasn't decreased much. I am very much worried now as I am trying to conceive now and how will it be affected by my back pain. Please help , advice . What should I do now

For a start, get a letter from your doctor, and ask for your workplace to be re-organised so you do not need to be in pain when you work. There is no reason you have to sit to work at a computer. It is quite easy to put your computer on a higher surface so you can stand to work at it.

My husband had something similar which lasted for a couple of months, and he could not sit. It took about ten minutes to find a suitable table for his computer and he could work as usual.

When you do have to sit, make a point of getting up and moving around at least every hour (we all should do this, not just people with bad backs).

Have you considered visiting a chiropractor? Back pain is their core speciality, and they are very good at it.
