Mabe the painkiller allowed you to make some moves that caused it.

Missaligned vertebras. Pinched nerves. Other...

TRY to relax. Move slowly in the path of less pain until you find it.

Go see a chiropractor as soo as possible! They are THE specialists for the spine 
and articulations. At times, ther work can look almost miraculous. I know by 
experiance :)

In the mean time, try applying some hot and cold pads in alternance. The hot 
will increase blood circulation. The cold help reduce any inflamation and will 
dull the pain.
