General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It seems you have a sprain in back. Rest, hot/cold pack, muscle relaxant cream (like Relaxil drug) and anti-inflammatory medicines (You are already taking) would relieve in few days (5 to 7).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
