Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Lower Part Of Back

I woke up not feeling well I think I had the flu. It was even painful to walk. I went to ER because felt terrible. Later on during the week I notice the lower part of my back is swollen. It still feel a little uncomfortable when I walk but I feel better. I'm still concern because the lower part of my back is still swollen should I return to ER.
