Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Severe back pain at 52 years of age ,can be due to muscle sprain/ bony weakness ( calcium/ vitamin D deficiency )/ joint pain in sacroiliac joints / some pelvic infection/ vertebral or disc problem.
* The vomiting you have is due to taking Motrin on an empty stomach.. triggering acidity. You should take tab. Perinorm.. only one pill, before taking food , have food & lie down to digest food & pill. .
* You should try home care with rest/ fomentation/ muscle relaxant ointment/ on the counter pain medicine Brufen 400 mg with a pill of Ranitidine 300 mg twice a day( after food ) for a couple of days.
In case no relief, visit your family doctor for overall examination & making primary diagnosis after few investigations as per need.. He may treat you or refer you to Orthopedic / Gynecologist/ physician as per need for specific treatment.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your query.
It seems you have taken the Motrin on an empty stomach/ you are already a hyper acidity patient. So the pills had given you the nauseating feeling . Advil.. again a pain medicine added to the problem.
You should -
- Consume a pill of perinorm( metoclopramide ) over the counter with a bit of water. ( no more pills without a doctor's advise please )
- Take a glass of cold milk sip by sip after half hour of the pill.
- Take tab Ranitidine 150 mg twice a day for following 3 days/ avoid spicy food, tea, coffee, fast .
* if there is no relief/ there is increase in the symptoms .. visit ER for injectables.
* Your back ache needs an orthopedic consultation, investigations as per need & specific treatment & not any pain killer to postpone it in futurew.
thanks.
