There is no such need of hurry to go to the emergency for back pain. You should avoid forward bending, weight lifting., squatting. Take hot compression Volini spray for local application.take pain killer and ppi like pantoprazole for 5 days.By this time you should do a Digital X-ray of L/S spine and consult sn orthopaedic Dr.
