Brief Answer:
Use naproxen for pain and lyrica and neurontin for pain .

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to "Ask a doctor service" . I read your query and here is my advice.

You are using ibuprofen for pain but I think it would be better if you use a stronger antinflamatory drugs such as naproxen or narcotics such oxycodone.
Also I think you can have rest and warm and cold compresses alternating them.
Also you may consult your doctor to apply corticosteroid injections around spine.
You may need to do physical therapy also may do massage, ultrasound and electrical stimulation.
Also lyrica and neurontin may be used for shaking and tremors.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
