Hi,
For severe back pain, It is essential that you arrive at a diagnosis and take proper treatment.
I get X rays of all my backache patients and then start on painkillers and muscle relaxants. Rest and physiotherapy are required for individual cases.
So get an X-ray and add muscle relaxants + rest to your treatment and do consult Orthopedic Surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
