Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From description , it seems you might developed muscular or ligamentous strain over back . If you haven't been resting well, it can worsen after a strenuous work. Good amount of rest is crucial in healing such injuries.
Following measures will help with the pain
• Lie on a hard bed.
• Anti -inflammatory drugs like Tablet Motrin 1 tablet as and when required
• Avoid forward bending.
• Avoid strenuous activity & lifting heavy weights.
• Apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Warm compresses will also help.
If the above measures fail to provide symptom relief, consult an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
