Hi,

Excedrin is generally a good choice for headaches, can be used for back pain but there are other options safer to be used for back pain; caffeine in Excedrin may aggravate heart rhythm issues with AFib.

I would recommend you some Ibuprofen, paracetamol together with ibuprofen.
Local warm compresses in the painful area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day.
If you can have a physiotherapist give some exercises to help relax the tense muscles might be very helpful as well.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
