Brief Answer:
Oral muscle relaxant will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns ,

From description it seems to be mechanical back pain, more related to posture while working.
For pain and spasm to go you have to do back exercises to relive the spasm associated with this. Doing hot fomentation and applying muscle relaxant gel will also be helpful in relieving the spasm.
Correct your posture while sitting. Take frequent breaks during your work.
Lie on hard bed. Avoid forward bending and lifting heavy weight.
You can get an oral muscle relaxant prescribed by your physician for an early relief.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
