Hi,
If the back pain due to osteoarthritis is requiring treatment then you can take either plane acetaminophen or a combination with ibuprofen and acetaminophen for a few days. That is fine, unless you have any allergy issues. But these medicines should be used very sparingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
