Hello, Pain killers are not the best way to deal with back pain. We need to find out what is causing the pain. It may be disc disease or arthritis.
You need X-rays and maybe an MRI.
As far as other pain medications, brufen can be used sparingly, so can diclofenac.
But i must stress, it is better to solve the problem rather than just take pain killers.
If you would like a more personalized discussion with me or anyone else on HealthCareMagic, you can use our "Ask a Specialist" service and we will respond quickly.
Take Care,
Vinay
