Dear, hello 4 yrs. Is too long a period to suffer from backache. You should be properly assessed and investigated. Get an x-ray of ls spine ap and lateral views and get hla b27 done in a good lab. And revert back with the reports. Mean while sleep on a firm mattress and use commode. Do hot fomentation and apply a local gel/balm and wear a ls belt. Pain killers only kill your pain on temporary basis. Take care.
