Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. This is suggestive of mechanical back pain. You can take simple medications such as etoricoxib for pain relief. Physiotherapy with IFT/ultrasound would also help.
Only if the pain persists or if there is radiation of pain to the legs, you should undergo MRI of lumbar spine to exclude a disc prolapse.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
