Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
This is actually a muscular spasm of the lower back muscles and is severe enough to cause a pain so bad at the pain scale description by you.
You need immediate care in the form of home remedies until you visit the physician tomorrow.
Apply Bengay Ultra Stretch Topical Pain Relief Gel to get yourself better. Norco is good, carry on with it. Apply heat padding to sooth your back. LumboSacral Corset is highly suggested for you. Take it right away and apply it around the back. It will give immediate relief and help improve the curvature of the back too, as you described in your history.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
Regards!
