The local shop is out of paracetamol and my lower back really hurts! is there anything i can do to relieve it?

Use Ibuprofen: If paracetamol was helping your low back pain, Ibuprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines will help. Also consider warm compression or heating pad, or soaking the back in the warm water. Sometimes a simple back brace you can buy at any drugstore may help.
