welcome to Health care magic.
1.Next time please mention the age, as the advise will be changed.
2.First thing you have to analyse the cause of the pain, as you already tried medication and it seems not working.
3.If you are my patient i would start with a x-ray lumbar spine AP/LAT views, depending on the finding, if required MRI will be indicated.
4.The treatment start with simple x-rays to interventions as required.
5.Back pain exercise please follow this link.
