Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to trauma to back there can be injury to vertebra or sacrum ,you may need to do X ray spine and MRI spine.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is back pain.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Wishing you good health.
