Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the back that you are having can be due to a muscle sprain or the hematoma or the disc bulge seen at the level of L4-L5. You need to consult an orthopedician to deal with all this.
For pain relief, in addition to the pain killers you are already taking you need to take a good oral muscle relaxant.
Doing a hot compress in the area will also help. Do consult your primary and ask for proper referral.
