Brief Answer:
Fioricet is a prescription drug

Detailed Answer:
Hello madam,

I have read your case and I think I can suggest you few things which you can try at home.

1. Avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight.
2. Take regular calcium and vitamin d. Pain also occurs due to low calcium.
3. Hot water fomentation at back and hand.
4. Diclofenac ointment at back and at
5. Belt for spine available at medical store.

These are few suggestions which you can try without spending much on doctors visit. If you follow these steps you will have good pain relief.

I am sorry; Fioricet is a prescription drug. It cannot be prescribed online. You need to get to your primary doctor and request a prescription for the same.

Let me know if you want to any other help. Wish you a good health. Thanks and take care.
