What can i do with my back pain

i write here to ask for medical advice since my next appointment to my head doctor is due next week and i cant wait  until then.

I continue to have my usual back aches but now the meds seems to worn off the muffled and dulled  effect of echoing pain it was before, in fact the pain it has become an increasing issue, even so that its  giving me headache in the process , and the pulse-sharp pain makes it very difficult to breath, also adding the lurching sick-motion making it horrendous.

I wonder what i might do in this situation, because i have searched for all the medical stuff that used to work on me even reaching out with herbal tea and it doesn’t do anything on me, im afraid to overdose the already high medication of pain killers.

Ice works great. I got to where I was using ice packs all day with a tight back brace on. I frostbite my back. Magnesium  oil is helping my spasms. I love salon pas capsaicin patches but they can be too hot for some people. I use the single ones in a paper size yellow wrapper. At almost 2 bucks each I sometimes  cut into 3 pieces. The heat is distracting.

You may be put on probation. For me that meant going in every 2 weeks rather than once a month. The number of UAs didn't  increase tho.
