Take off (pain)

Hi,

Can pain 'take off' or does it make no sense?

For example:

"My back pain took off again. I need to lie down." I know that I can use 'kick off' or 'play up', but I'm not sure about 'take off'.

Thank you.

I always use "My back (pain) is acting up again". Your choices are understandable, but unusual where I live. CJ
