Antiinflammatories: A person of your age, assuming that you have no risks for other disease, would likely have a pinched nerve in their back causing these symptoms. Proper posture, lumbar exercise and antiinflammatories are a good start at conservative management. There are other possible causes, and it would require a doctors exam to sort them out.
