My lower back is very sore, it happens on occasion, but its quite bad this time. Ive tried muscle relaxants and mild pain killers like tylenol with 8mg codeine, but the do not help. Is there another medication i can take for the pain, until it subsides... it usually only last a few days. The pain is shooting down my legs, and I am having trouble doing regular things.
