Welcome to Chat Doctor After going through your query I think you are suffering from acute backache. It may be due to acute disc prolapse, or it may be muscular pain. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics. Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
