Heat/motrin: If it is so severe you can't get up you probably need to see a doctor. The best things you can do at home are to use heat on your back and alternate 400mg motrin with 1000mg tylenol (acetaminophen) every 4 hours. Do not take the tylenol (acetaminophen) more than 3 times per day. Do not take tylenol (acetaminophen) if you have liver problems. Do not take motrin if you have kidney problems. See doctor if you need more pain relief.

What is the cause: The back pain is noted but what is the cause. Is this muscular as you have been doing something or is it due to something as a kidney stone or other process. Suggest something such as advil (ibuprofen) but you have not mentioned any allergies. See your doc if it is truly this bad. You will need more than just otc meds BEst wishes.
