Hi,
I have read your query.
First of all you have to quit smoking and drinking because these substances will exaggerate your problem.
Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain.
- You can take medicine like painkillers + muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor. You may need stronger pain-killers which are available on prescription only. You can try ibuprofen or naproxen till you see your doctor.
- Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .
I hope it helps.
