Numbness of the back itself is usually not worrisome. The sweating and feeling of passing out sounds like an acute reaction to pain, so you need medications to nip the painful episodes in the bud before they escalate. But the type of medication depends on how long you've been getting this pain. And if it's been months, then you need testing, beginning with x-rays.
