Brief Answer:
You need to take muscle relaxant

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. Back pain can be controlled by muscle relaxant. Tyenol is not sufficient for this. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Physiotherapy in form of back muscle relaxant exercises.
2.Tablet thiocolchicoside or chlorzoxazone should be taken for five to ten days.
3.Hot water fomentation. Avoid very soft mattress.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if you have any other follow up questions.
Thanks
