Dear Ms
Persistent pain or spasm in the back muscle could be due to following factors
1. Prolonged muscle spasm
2. Sleeping in wrong posture
3. Underling spine problem like Prolapsed intervertebral disc
Exact diagnosis will however depend on good clinical examination. I would suggest you to consult your Primary care physician for clinical evaluation.
In the meantime i would suggest you the following
1. Bed Rest
2. Hot water fomentation either by using hot water bag or cloth soaked in hot water 3-4 times a day
3. Analgesics like Ibuprofen along with skeletal muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone will be helpful
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
Take Care
