Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Since your pain is not relieved by strong analgesics possible cause may be 1. mechanical backache and
2. instability.

Detailed investigation in form of
1. X-ray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views and
2. MRI of the lumbo sacral spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done.

Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tab. Ultracet.

Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
