Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You should apply hot compress as it could provide relief. Ultram (tramadol) is a narcotic-like pain reliever and can help. Be sure to take it in full stomach in order to avoid chances of a gastric irritation.
It might be worthwhile to get an X ray of lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) and to visit a physical therapist thereafter. Also get your vitamin D level checked. Taking vitamin D and calcium supplements could provide relief.
