Feels like I've got these needle-like pricks in the joints of my lower back whenever I sit and it's been happening for the last few days. I've never had this issue before. Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal?

Initial Steps: a. Apply a warm compress to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, several times a day. b. Consider over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen if needed.

Posture and Ergonomics: a. Ensure your seating posture is correct; use a chair with good lumbar support. b. Take regular breaks to stand and stretch every 30-60 minutes.

When to Seek Medical Advice: a. If symptoms persist beyond a week or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. b. Seek immediate attention if you experience numbness, weakness, or severe pain.
