you have herniated the spine disc. it is a chronic condition treatment is rest and painkiller medications and some back exercises. you will get repeated episodes of this kind of pain every time the treatment is the asme rest pain killers and exercise, if it becomes more severe than the spine surgeon will ask for a MRI scan of the back and will decide to inject a medication in the back, even this doesnot work than he will go for a surgery
