May be sciatica but you need a diagnosis. In the meantime try painkillers and anti inflammatories, heat or cold pads and keep moving. Good luck

Biologically, we are not designed to stand upright.

That's why we have so much trouble with our spines, legs and feet, because un-natural pressures are put onto bones and ligaments not deigned to take them.

That's why your back pain could be any one of a number of thjings - although sciatica is the most likely.

Your doc. may refer you to a phsyiotherapist who will sort out the root cause of the pian, and treat it, but in the mean time, try to sit up as straight as you c an, and bend your knees not your back if you need to pick anything up from floor level.

Good luck.
