Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms.
Based on that, the most likely cause of your symptoms is mechanical back ache, due to muscular spasm.
As of now, you can start back extension exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist. For pain relief, they would also start IFT/ultrasound treatment.
If the symptoms persist, you can go for MRI spine to exclude disc disease.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
