On tuesday i was sitting down and suddenly got pain in my back. for the first 4 hours i couldn't move without pain. the pain didn't shoot down my legs, but lifting my legs sent pain to my lower. i applied ice and rested, the pain got better, but it was uncomfortable and distracting still.
the stiffness didn't go away so i got worried and consulted a doctor, he said its muscle spasm and gave meds (nucoxia mr 8, baclofen 10, predace 4) and said that i can get back to my daily activities. i get only minimal relief, sitting for 30 minutes is painful. lying down is okay, so if walking if done in moderation.
i am a student and i need to sit for long hours to study, i havd entrances soon and i am getting anxious thinking that there is something else serious. will this get better in 3-4 days?

It sounds like you may have experienced a muscle spasm or strain in your back. The medication prescribed by your doctor can help with the pain and discomfort. However, it is important to rest and avoid activities that aggravate the pain, especially sitting for long hours.
You can try some home remedies such as hot or cold compresses, gentle stretching exercises, and taking breaks from sitting to walk around and stretch. It may take a few days or even a week for the pain and stiffness to completely subside.
If the pain persists or worsens, or if you experience any other symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Good luck with your upcoming entrances!
