Welcome to Spine Health Ron,
I frequently have pain as you described- pretty much 24/7.
Have you had an MRI recently?
The Motrin will take a few days to start working properly, the levels need to build up. Are you taking anything else?

I am not a doctor, my opinions are not meant to be medical advice. Just opinions from my personal experiences dealing with multiple spinal issues.
I had the same feeling in my ulnar nerve after pulling on too much weight. I fully expected Doc to give me painkillers but he gave me valium as a muscle relaxer instead. I was actually mad at him thinking he wasn't taking my pain seriously. But it SERIOUSLY worked ! ! !
Please give this a try.
I'm not a doctor.
