May be able to: Guide you, but you need to provide more information. To be honest, you should ideally consider a formal consultation as it will be difficult to adequately review your issues and provide some guidance in these short 400 character answers. Best of luck.

Depends on cause: Depending on the cause of back pain, there are different approaches to treatment. If there is a musculoskeletal injury or muscle strain, warm baths, stretching, and over the counter pain medications like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can help. If there is a nerve or spinal vertebrae injury, treatment could be different. It also depends on how long the back pain has been present.

Work-Up!: Before treating any condition you should be seen by a board certified physician to start a work-up. It is probably best to start with your primary care physician and let that doctor lead the charge. Back pain can be caused by many different etiologies. Some of the causes can be serious and others not so so serious. Again, go see your doctor.
