[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for referring to Chat Doctor.I understand your concern regarding the pain. Since you have mentioned that you have back pain extending to your calf, it is most probable that your past condition has aggravated. This can also be due to other conditions like our lifestyle habits like usage of computers, watching a lot of TV, bending while reading.1)if your problem is severe you need to some painkillers after a prescription only. 2)donor take analgesics excessively.3) you need to keep an erect straight posture of your back .4) donor lift heavy weights.4) do stretching exercises, when you wake up lie on your chest then using two hand lift yourself up, in an arc like position and then lie down slowly. Repeat his at least ten times daily. This will surely relieve back pain. You can watch online videos for such exercises.5) if your problem aggravates you need to get yourself physically examined and investigated through radiological methods like X-ray and MRI.hope this suggestion help you.
