I have a lot of lower back pain to the point i have a hard time walking, because it hurts so bad. i've been taking ibuprofen over the counter and meloxicam 15 mg prescribed that is suppose to help with inflammation but it's not working?

Challenging: Lower back pain can be due to numerous problems, including disc ruptures, facet arthropathies, and strain, amongst many. Often imaging studies fail to clearly find the "pain generator". Recommend a visit to a physiatrist, start physical therapy, do gentle exercises, perhaps in swimming pool, consider modifying your medication. This will require a shift but will be helpful.
