[|Human|] My lower back has always felt tight. Freshman year in college, I noticed more and more stress. 3 years later, it continues to hurt more often, and now everything always needs to be stretched. I can feel several knots... not if this is related but I also have to pop my neck a lot more.
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. Consulting with treating doctor is advised.  Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. I think your stress is related to it as stresses increases pain sensitivity. I think your query answered
