Dear friend your low back pain seems muscular pain.in your case physiotherapy and exercise will help you a lot on long term basis. Presently if you have severe pain then take muscle relaxant medicine like combination of diclofenac+paracetamol+chlorzoxazon, but it may increase your gastritis. So take medicine only if severe and necessary.-consult physiotherapist nearer to you.-exercise for low back pain-raise your leg straight from hip joint without bending from knee after sleeping on back and then put down slowly. Same exercise for another leg and then raise both leg simultaneously. Sleep on abdomen and raise your head and chest backward. Do all these exercise 40-50 times per day by increasing slowly every day. Hope this answer will be helpful to you. For more queries please don't hesitate to ask. Get well soon dear friend Chat Doctor.
