Suggest A Medicine To Cure My Back Pain From Doing Excessive Work

I have just come back from India with gastro, went to my GP had a stool sample sent. Pick haven t got results yet. I had some Norfloxicin from the Travel Medicine Centre from prior to my trip. GP said I could take that. Will it treat Giardiasis if it is Giardiasis? My gastro symptoms have completely resolved. Just have back pain now (from doing lots of laundry when I returned) I took Meloxicam, which I have since leant is contraindicated with the antibiotic I was on. Still have back pain after 4 days. Normally better after 2/3 days. What should I do/take?

I do not know why there is an interaction with the antibiotics. A lot of them interact with meloxicam by interfering with liver metabolism BUT the effect isn't that bad.
On the other hand. ONE aspirin will determine if that is an alternative drug and it doesn't have liver metabolism issues. Aspirin is the strongest anti-inflammatory. The problem is that it is also the strongest on stomach irritation.
