Twisted my back and in absolute agony

So I twisted my back at work. This was 3 days ago. I am in absolute agony. I went to the docs yesterday and got naproxen twice a day, diazepam three times a day and I'm also taking paracetamol mixed with codeine over the counter. It's not even touching the pain

Once I'm up and moving it's more of a sharp ache in my right lower back and over my hip. Getting up and sitting down hurts. I have to almost lower myself down in stages. If I move too quickly I almost get a spasm around my back and I have to pause to catch my breath. I'm no wuss to pain but I'm in agony
Sitting down hurts my hip. The pain is down my legs especially the right one
I work a physical job, luckily I'm off on annual leave for 11 days so hoping that it at least eases
I have some stretches from the docs but I can't even get into the position to do them and I have a very active toddler
Has anyone got any suggestions?

Still no better. Went to the doctors who were useless. Gave more naproxen and said to come back in 2 weeks if no change. Saving up for an osteopath and trying to keep moving. Breaks my heart I can't lift my daughter. Back at work Saturday. God knows if I'll manage but can't live on sick pay
