Hi, most of the back pain in young age is mechanical and can easily treated with physiotherapy so don't worry only you need is good and experienced physiotherapist. I suggest you to consult nearby physical therapy clinic and if you do not have nearby physiotherapist than you can try following 1. 1.do not bend forward. Specially first few hours in the morning. Try to maintain natural low back curve. 2.sit for short�period�with good posture. Use lumbar roll for support to decrease load on your back. Specially if work at desk ,going for a long drive or plan a trip. 3.avoid prolong positioning or take a break while sitting like a small walk or slight extension in your back 3 to 4 minutes in standing. 4.avoid setting on ground cross leg and do not sit on a chair or table without back support. 5. Avoid any movement or exercise which increase your�pain�specially radiating to knees or legs. 6. Avoid wearing high heels. They change pelvis position and place load on lumbar spine 7. Most important do mckenzie back extension exercises you can google it for a detail every 2 hourly for a one week. 8.you can also do hot water fomentation for your back and knee. Also applied ointment like�volini�for a painful area. Try this for a one week and if no improvement then you willll have to consult nearby physical therapist. Or you can consult me also online. Hope this will help you. Thanks.
