Hello

The medicines are not the permanent cure for back pain.
It will keep recurring.
First, you should go for MRI of spine to know the extent of damage. There could be a disc prolapse causing nerve root compression.

You must consult a physiotherapist and learn back strengthening exercises.

Also take care of your posture. If you have to work for long sitting hours, i would suggest you take a walk around in your chamber after every 30-45mins.

Take muscle relaxant and pain killer meds when needed.

Hope this helps.
