Im still in a tremendous amount of pain although the back spasms have subsided... the doc also prescribed a muscle relaxer and naproxyn.. not helping with the lower back pain

Thank you for the question. You may try to take as much bed rest as possible lying in most comfortable posture that relaxes and eases pain. Do hot fomentation, avoid bending and lifting objects and take meds as prescribed.There is a lumbo-sacral brace for lower back which you may wear for support.In 3-5 days you may recover
