Kindly pursue physiotherapy for a month and the running can be resumed only after observing pace of your recovery. Dont start running at earliest it might aggravate your injury

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Here I would say that this could be lumber spondylitis, if I would be your doctor then I would certainly ask for physiotherapy because in such cases this is the only treatment which gives satisfactory result, along with some symptomatic medicine and this includes the NSAID drug with some vitamins supplements and in my all patients I do get better results, why not you try this you will definitely feel good with this, have nice day.
