Brief Answer:
Have you taken absolute rest?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing to us.
You may have some changes in the spine. Most common reason is back muscle spasm due to muscle fatigue. However if problem persist then it may indicate disc related issue.
In case of sever back pain, rest is most important. Please take absolute for 3-5 days. No travels, no sitting, no bending forward or lifting heavy things. Need to take anti-inflammatory with muscle relaxant and traction. If you have tried all the things and still no pain relief then go for MRI spine. Based on mri finding sometimes injection in spine may be tried. Thanks.
