You have those spasm of muscles of the back we need to know what could be etiology.
Please get an MRI of the back structures along with leg because if it is due to nerve compression sciatica, then we need to treat you with vitamin B12 tablets.
If it is just muscle spasm, then you can be treated with NSAIDs like ibuprofen or muscle relaxants like baclofen can help you. So, kindly get MRI reports for follow up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Archana
