Dear patient thank you for your question.
Before we begin treatment we have to diagnose your condition. It can be tricky to diagnose back problems such as the ones you have described without imaging so my first and foremost advise to you is to get an x-ray/ct scan done.
The condition to me seems to be lumbar spondylosis. Therefore while I cannot treat you online without knowing exactly what you have here are some suggestion which should benefit you.
1) Take flexon Mr 500mg thrice a day. It contains a muscle relaxant which will decrease your spasms. It is contraindicated if you have a liver disease
2) Gels will not have a major effect in this situation so it is useless to use them. I suggest hot fomentation therapy for your back
3) I will stress again it is imperative that you show yourself to the orthopedic surgeon at the earliest as a condition like this could progress and result in complications like loss of bowel and bladder movement and pain down your leg etc.
I wish you all the best
