General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to muscle sprain. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Continue physical therapy. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads also helps. In case of not getting relief you may require MRI back after orthopedician consultation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
