Please help - horrendous back pain

I’ve been suffering with lower back pain for about 10 days which has got progressively worse to the point where I can’t sit on the toilet, moving position triggers the most horrific spasm pain across my lower back and halfway down my bum.
I booked an appointment with a physio for today but 2 out of 3 of my DC are displaying COVID symptoms so we are isolating. Im literally in tears writing this because it is just so painful. I’m ok when standing but it feels very weak - I took the dog in the field next door yesterday on the lead and she pulled on the lead and it felt like I’d been shot in the back.
I’ve never suffered with back pain apart from niggles during pregnancy but this is like a never ending back to back labour. I literally “moo” every time I have to stand up or sit down and the pain makes me dizzy.

What can I do? I can’t see a GP or any HCP for that matter. My mum is available to go out and pick anything up for me and leave it on the door step.

Sorry for the waffling - had a coughing toddler in my ear all night so minimal sleep.

Is your GP doing telephone consultations? They could write you a prescription for strong painkillers and your mum could pick it up directly from the pharmacy?

Is be calling your gp for home visit (I know this is not normal but these are not normal times) or if it's that bad an ambulance

You still need treatment irrespective of this bloody virus
