I Have Lower Back Pain For More Than 2 Moths.

Question: I have lower back pain for more than 2 moths. I lifted a heavy rice bag. Since then the pain is always there. No pain in legs, no numbness, no any other symptoms other than the lower back pain. I cannot bend forward, and I find difficulty in some positions that I used to do. The pain is on the base of spine above buttocks in the center, and I can feel stiffness to the pelvis bones both ways. I did MRI yesterday. I have the PDF report but I don't know how to attach it here.
