Hello Sazia,
You can define well about the backache and gives all information regarding it’s symptoms, causes and prevention.
Backache is a very common complaint. Although it may be painful and uncomfortable. Even though it can affect people of any age, it is significantly more common among adults.
Mentally stressful job and sedentary lifestyle are the basic factors for developing back pain.
