Switch off the gas and throw in 20 cloves of sliced garlic. The oil will smoke furiously and send out strong odours, but this means it is done. Wait for it to cool, strain and store. This can be used for massages. You may also use mustard oil for a massage, it is equally effective. Make a poultice of raw potatoes and onions apply this to the painful area. It will draw out the pain and give you tremendous relief. Try to lie flat as much as possible. Sit without slumping, as is an involuntary tendency. If your pain is too severe, wear a wide elastic belt around your waist. This should keep your back from moving too much and help provide relief.
