Use anti-inflammatory drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
If you are having back pain you may need to take painkillers such ibuprofen, acetaminophen or even Diclofenac for more severe pain.
You may need to do a x-ray of the spine to check it.
Also hot compresses may help blood circulation and relieve pain.
Also have rest and don't lift weights.

Hope I have answered the question.

Thanks.
