Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The low back ache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation).

Myoril is a good muscle relaxant for back. You can take it after consulting your doctor.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
