Brief Answer:
Lumbosacral strain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.

From the symptoms,it seems that you may have suffered a lumbosacral strain due to which,you are experiencing back pain.This causes inflammation and spasm of the paraspinal muscles causing restricted and painful spine movements.

I would suggest you to take rest,apply local analgesic spray / ointment followed by hot fomentation.

Avoid bending forward or lifting anything heavy.

Take analgesic muscle relaxant tablets like tramadol / paracetamol / thiocolchicoside or tizanidine.

Using a lumbar corset around the painful area may be helpful.

If you do not feel better by these measures,you can consider consulting an orthopaedic surgeon for further evaluation and an MRI.

I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.

Thank you.
Kind regards.
