I had a similar problem just after Christmas. My young intern gave me a prescription for vicodin and also a fairly low-powered muscle relaxant. I felt good while taking those, but the pain returned when I stopped.
What really helped me was a professional back massage. I think it got the blood flow back to the muscle that was inflamed, and it relaxed the whole area so it could heal. And it feels darned good!
