What Causes Burning Sensation On The Back After A Muscle Strain?

I was wondering if if straining a muscle has any long term effects in any way. I strained my back 3 years ago but recently (a couple of days ago), I ve felt the burning sensation, soreness, and a couple of sharp pains (mild on the area I had previously strained it. I have medication (Naproxen) at home but has been expired since 2 years ago. Is it safe to take this to hold my minor pain over?

hello...... I strongly suggest you not to take a medication that has already expired. it can cause you more harm than curing you. You can take any anti inflammatory with muscle relaxants (FLEXON MR sos but not more than three times a day). If pain doesnt reduce get an xray done to find out if spine is not going any deformative changes.
Thank you
