From past 5-6 years I am having neck and back pain. From past few days the pain is severe. Nothing got detected in Xray. I am tired of eating pain killers. What should I do?

Question

Common causes of back pain are bad posture, injury to back during certain activities and lack of exercise. Repeated stress to your back and neck muscles causes pain even if your x ray and scans are normal. You should try some physiotherapy and learn about proper posture. Follow ergonomics while sitting at work or at home. Control weight and do some back strengthening exercises. If pain persists then you need to visit a spine surgeon for complete clinical evaluation.
