It might be a bruise and muscle strech but one cant deny of rare severe backache of acute disc prolapse also, you need a good re evaluation by orthopaedician and probably an MRI, then muscle relaxant, anti inflammatory , rest and physiotherapy ............Regards

Dear
I think it is more than a muscle pull, as its radiating to limb, it might be acute disc on back also , you need a revaluation with ortho paedician, t/t will follow with MRI , muscle relaxant, rest and physiotherapy........get back for details.......Regards
