Lower back pain
Hi .i started having lower back pain 3/4 days back after exercise..i dont remember which exercise caused it.. initially i thought its normal so continued exercising for another day.. the pain is not really severe or unbearable.. first day i had difficulty in getting up or forward bending.. i took combiflam on day 1. Did not feel difference so took etoxib 90 mg for 2 days.. pain is moderate now but not completely gone.. i took rest for one day and did exercise again ( light and lower back streches) and i felt better.. morning i feel pain is more..also earlier it was on one side now its on other side and its in hips as well.. started applying cold pack now.. so will etoxib work? How long should i take it? Is diclomol same as etoxib?. Which one is better?

The two medicines are not the same . Most likely you sprained the lower back muscles. Could be a discogenic pain also if it's aggravated on cough/sneeze/bending forward.
Next Steps
walk , posture care, back exercises , hot fomentation , ointment for application and gentle massage . diclomol twice a day (after food) for 5 days along with razo 20 before breakfast

Hello , ur lower back muscles are in spasm causing pain , spasm needs to relax before starting excercises again .
Proper posture and maneuvers are important in excercises.
Both the medicine u mentioned will not relax muscles alone .
U needs proper rest ,and muscles relaxants along with painkillers otherwise it can keep recurrence
