It depends: There are many causes of lower back pain. In a young person such as you it often comes from muscle spasm. If this is the case, depending on your health, it may be safe for you to take an NSAID such as Motrin or naproxen. Otherwise Acetaminophen may help along with a brief period of rest. However there are many causes of back pain. Since yours is so severe, you should see your doctor soon.
