Answers:
The main things with back injuries is not to rest it too much, you need to keep it moving.
You should be ok for Alton towers, just take it easy and dont go on any rides that may stop suddenly or chuck you about too much, so to lessen any impact. If your strapped into the ride well like on the rollercaoster, you should be okay.
Take some Ibuprofen to ease the pain before you go. You can always take paracetamol with ibuprofen too, just do not take more that stated dose.
That usually state that you should them every 4 hours, for my back, i usually take ibuprofen then 2 hours later take paracetamol, then 2 hours after that ibuprofen, therefore there is a 4hour gap between dose, but your not taking them all at once and the pain control is spread out and seems to work better.
