Can A Medicine Other Than Hydrocodone And Flexeril Be Taken For Severe Backache?

I was helping my husband move a HUGE OLD TUBE TV. The weight wasn t too bad and I was the one going backwards. Long story short, by the time we got to the garage door, my husband started to lose his grip, then he tripped over the cat carrier, forcing the TV to fly toward me and knock me on my back. Landed flat on the small of my back. I could not move enough to get to the hospital with out an ambulance. They ruled out damage to the spine, ribs or other smaller bones. BUT I have never experienced worse pain in my life, including natural child birth. They gave me Hydrocodone and Flexeril. Did absolutely nothing. I can only get out of my chair with help. HELP. Is there anything else I can take?
