I've been told that the juniper-berry extract in gin is a muscle relaxant. Makes a good excuse, anyway.
In my case (I've had an intermittently-dodgy back for almost 30 years now), I've found that asprin works better than ibuprofen, but your mileage may vary.
The worst possible thing you can do for back pain is sit in a chair. The second worst is stand up in one place. Lying down is best, and walking (even if it hurts some) is second best. Exercises are good; see a physical therapist.
