Hi,
I would suggest you should get an X-ray of the back done if not already done. If that is normal then you should not worry a lot.
Pain may occur for a few days. You can use some hot packs for the relief of the pain. You can also use some painkillers like Ibuprofen.
If there is any weakness in the legs or numbness immediately report to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
