Chronic backache at your age is mostly musculo skeletal. Pain relief ointments may not be able to give permanent solution because they do not address the primary cause of pain. Back pain maybe due to a variety of causes (pain generators) in the spine like a prolapse intervertebral disc, a compressed nerve root, an intevertebral joint (back joint) hypertrophy and so on. It may be due to muscle spasm or a bone disorder. A systemic disease like arthritis may also lead to back pain. A pain physician shall be able to help you to arrive at an accurate diagnosis by asking relevant questions/investigations and manage your pain in a better manner.
