Severe Lower Back Pain. Uncomfortable Taking Muscle Relaxers, Painkillers. Advice?

Hi Monday will be two weeks that I have had severe lower back pain that If I lay flat on my back or stomach is ok, I can not sit for more then five minutes which immediately puts pain up my back and makes me feel like I have to pee constantly. If I walk or stand I am ok for a while but then my legs will go numb also. I got tested for a bladder infection and it came back clear so that's not the problem. Very uncomfortable taking muscle relaxers and pain killers. With out them I can not function
Thanks

From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your lower spines.
If you are elderly then there might be having degenerative changes in your lower spines giving irritation ot pressure on nerves giving rise this problem.
go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region.
