Could be muscle strain most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem of sharp pain and spasm is most likely from muscle strain. In such case Naproxen helps. You can apply heating pads or hot fomentations. Applying dicloenac or ketoprofen gel also will be helpful. If no improvement then prescription muscle relaxants like Tizanidine will be needed. In such case you can approach your GP.
For arthritis of back joints like sacroiliac joint which usually gives stiffness and pain on lower back physiotherapy will be helpful. Physiotherapy like TENS and massage helps. Your physiotherapist also will teach you several exercises for back muscle strengthening which will gradually decreases the stiffness and pain.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
