Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain

I started to have acute pains in my back and between my ribs 2 days ago. Despite taking solpadine the pain did not go.. It moved and was untolarable. I went to the doctor and she diagnosed a muscular issue but it felt much deeper; she suggested I go to the hospital which I did after a sleepless night.. Samples were taken, no issue with bloods, clots, heart and I was sent home with 2 medications; solpadol and melfen.. i am still in pain..They mentioned viral? The pain has moved to the ribs.. What could it be? My mother mentioned arthrosis between the ribs..?? If I only get the pain sorted out..

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Let me assure you that the pain that you are suffering from, is not due to arthrosis. It is probably a muscle spasm affecting the muscles of lower back. The muscles sometime go into spasm and remain contracted in the process giving rise to fatigue and pain.
I would insist you to take paracetamol (available in brands like crocin, calpol etc.) 500 mg two tablets together. Alternatively you may try some muscle relaxant like myospaz forte twice a day for a couple of days and see if you get some relief. Hot compress alternating with cold compress should help in reducing the pain.
However, please remain in follow up of your doctor and discuss the suggested treatment with him. He would be able to rule out other possible causes like pain in the kidneys.
