Sharp Back Pain, Difficult To Turn During Sleep, Constant Pain. Taken Ibuprofen. Treatment?

I was doing some martial arts training and for the past few days i have severe pain in the lower right side of my back. its a sharp pain as a try to move around, find it difficult to turn when i sleep. the pain is constant. I think it may be muscular pain. ive taken ibuprofin twice but this has made no difference. It hurts a lot especially when i sneeze or cough . Any idea what it may be?

yes probably u have a pain of muscular origin b/c of muscle spasm probably paravertebral
u need to have the following----
1. a pain killer ibuprofen/ aceclofenac/ lornoxicam twice daily after food
if u have the gastric problem u may take tramadol
2. a muscle relaxant in the form of tizanidine 2 mg, thiochochicoside 8 mg or plain diazepam 5 mg thrice daily
3. hot compression over that area
