Yes, my symptoms are typical of what you described and were triggered when
picking-up from the floor a bucket full of water.
Is there a shot of medicine that may help with this terrible pain for the moment?
I've been taken Naproxen and Tylenol every four hours and now my stomach is paying the consequences

Brief Answer:
Add omeprazole and stop naproxen
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this added information. The surrounding circumstances make this more likely to be sciatica.
I will suggest you stop naproxen and add omeprazole to protect the stomach more. There are more potent pain medications such as tramadol, morphine, codeine, etc. that can be used. However, you need a doctor to provide a script for this and I will suggest you talk with your local doctor.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know how this unfolds.
