Drink water: Get a back rub. Nothing like kind hands! tylenol (acetaminophen) 1000 mg, every 8-12 hours, as long as your liver is ok. It is not really your back that is hurting you, but deeper inside. Yet a back rub will induce your brain to relax, and take the edge off, until the infection subsides, and real source of pain go away.

Call your Dr: Call your dr now. You might be developing a kidney infection. If so, that can be very severe. Better to be safe than sorry. Feel better and best of health to you.
