I woke up on Tuesday with back pain. Everytime I move my arm, I feel pain behind my back. What should I do? I wanna get better because on Monday I am going on a school trip for two days and I don't wanna feel bad. I only take Tynenol, by the way, so I can't take other medicines.

Lie on your stomach and strech out your arms in front .Keep legs stretched, hip - width apart.Breathe in and lift right hand and left leg.Breathe out and return to starting position .Repeat with left hand and right leg.Repeat 10 times.
Use an ice pack rather than pain killers. Apply it on the area for a maximum of 20 mins at a time, thrice a day
Avoid sitting or standing in one position for long periods.If you are saddled to your desk for long hours, take a break every 45 mins .Walk around your office space , roll your shoulders, get a drink of water and ur ready for working again

You are experiencing muscle spasms possibly from over use of the muscles. At night take a hot bath with 2c. of epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. Afterwards apply an analgesic balm On your back and arm. If you have a heating pad use that on the back for twenty minutes several times a day.
If this pain continues you need to see a chiropractor as they are the best doctors for back problems. I've enclosed a link where you can find a doctor in your area.

There is no medicine to treat not only back pain but almost all pains. Either it will disappear naturally or become chronic. Docs never tell it as a part of their business.
Any disease inside the body gets reflected on back side nerves and they generate pain.
Second reason is the problem of spines.
In your case the cough/ constipation or inflammation of intestines is reflected on back; i think so being a student.
Avoid spicy, stale and bakery foods; add green vegitables and salads to your meals to treat constipation if any and use citrus fruits; you will be alright my dear child.
You can do rock and roll to get instant relief.

Chances are you just slept wrong on Monday night or you did something last Monday that strained your muscles. Chances are it will go away on its own.
Getting a professional Massage couldn't hurt either.

Go to your doctor and get a script for a tapered dose of Prednisone.
