Brief Answer:
MOTRIN double dose plus HOT WATER BAG

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the problem. I know you are trying to find some relief to get over the night. You need some good sleep.
You seem to have a lower muscle spasms because of various reasons.
For now I suggest you to take ADVIL or MOTRIN 200mg two tablets (so total 400mg). I also suggest hot bag under the back while you sleep during the night. You can attempt to take hot and fresh shower bath that relieves if not hot bag. BENGAY application could be of some help and you can try. would be helpful to sleep before you go and see a local doctor tomorrow morning.
The local doctor can prescribe you muscle relaxants and if needed investigate further to understand the cause of the pain.
