Hi there.

According to me you should get an Xray of the back done immediately .
Nurofen is mostly Ibuprofen and should be avoided if you are having stomach problems .
In fact the stomach soreness might be secondary to Nurofen ingestion.

Treatment :
1. Complete bed rest
2. Analgesic like Tramodol as it has negligible gastric side effects
3. Muscle relaxant like Thiocolchiside
4. Local analgesic gel massage
5. Lumbosacral corset to be worn while you are not lying down.

Further treatment will depend on X ray report.

I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
