Hi,

Sorry to hear about your pain. Back pain is difficult to bear many times. If you don't have your regular drugs, you may get some relief with the following measure.

Heat packings, may be quite effective to relieve the spasm and pain. Besides, you may use over the counter pain killers like ibuprofen or aleve. (take antacids with it if you have any stomach problem). You may use it in combination with paracetamol for better pain control.

Avoid heavy lifting, and sleep on a hard, smooth surface.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
