Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain

I have lower back pain that comes and goes and it sometimes radiates to my leg and flank areas. Today I experienced floating stool in addition to my back pain being a bit uncomfortable. Also, I had intense gas and bloating toward the end of the week last week. My back pain started, off and on, in late December.
