Suggest Medication For Extreme Stiffness And Pain In Lower Back

I have been suffering from severe pain in my lower back due to its absolute stiffness. It becomes like iron when I lie down, aggravates during the night. My MRI shows degeneration mainly in Li L4 and L5 areas. I have undergone physio therapy but am back to square one. Please advise a painkiller and some medicine to reduce the stiffness. Thanks
