How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed with Sjogren s syndrone and am having severe lower back pain. After a bone scan and back xray my doctor told me I have arthritis. I am taking 1 mg methocarbamol twice a day (morning & evening). I am fine until around noon but then the pain gets bad. I am a teacher of middle schoolers. I can t walk long distances so use a scooter if I have to walk to the second floor or across campus. Otherwise I walk to try to stay mobile. What can I do to relieve the pain? What should I ask my primary doctor?
