Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As you describe in query that you have pulled muscle of lower back.Usually it occur when muscle stretched too fast or wrong movement .It occurs to weak muscles .
I would suggest you to take proper rest,apply ice to your lower back for 20 minutes thrice a day ,for pain and swelling take anti inflammatory and analgesic like ibuprofen and acetaminophen and there are rubs available for muscle strain gentle massage of these rubs will be helpful.
When you will be back to normal i advice you to stretch and warm up your body before doing any physical activity.
If the condition persist for more ten 5 days or doesn't improve ,immediately consult orthopedic surgeon or chiropractic surgeon ,who can order xRay to detect if there is any other damage .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
