Hello,

There is possibility of lumbar muscle spasm due to lifting of heavy weight. You can continue your medication of dynapar MR.

Take neurotropic medication like methylcobalamine and gabapentin consulting your doctor.

Physiotherapy plays important role in treatment. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you relief.

Do hot fomentation over involved muscle. If not relieved then you may need clinical examination and further investigation like MRI spine and x ray.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
