Hi,
It may be due to sprained back muscles or tendon injury. As a first line of management you can take analgesics/muscle relaxant combination like Acetaminophen/Baclofen combination for pain relief.
Generally the symptoms will settle in couple of days. Apply ice packs and take adequate bed rest. If symptoms persist, you can consult an Orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
