Brief Answer:
need details

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
I have few questions about this
1.Since when you have pain?
2.Whether you overexerted yourself?
3.whether you have fever?

Here my first possibility according to given history
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having muscular pain in back as you are not able to sleep straight and also bending is a problem. I generally treat such patients coming to my clinic by advising them rest in the most comfortable position and analgesic such as ibuprofen. Muscle relaxant such as Thiocolchicoside is helpful in relieving spasm.Vitamin B and C help in recovery.

You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
