Lower back pain
Hi,
I'm 34 year old. Height - 6'2". Weight-114kgs
I'm experiencing lower back pain occasionally. Its not severe. But occasionally when i lie down after sitting for a long time or while getting up in morning. Also i feel numbness in my hand occasionally when i place it behind my head while lying down for a while in a same position.
Is this normal !?
