Brief Answer:
Diagnosis: Muscle strain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The back pain you are experiencing is likely to be due muscle strain.
You can apply ice to the area of pain.
Take adequate rest
Take Ibuprofen 400 mg up to 4 times a day to relieve pain
Always bent on your knees especially when lifting heavy weights.

If you do not notice any improvement in next 2 days, follow up with the urgent care to get an Xray done.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification

Dr.Lekshmi
