Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The low back ache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation).
Myoril is a good muscle relaxant for back. You can take it after consulting your doctor.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
