The fact that you have so severe back pain that you are not able to stand or sit means that you need to see a doctor or do video consulting. Dont self treat or treat with medicine over counter as it might be serious

Take a pain killer plus muscle relaxant after consultation with your local physician. If persists then consult personally. Seems like acute back muscle spasm.
