thanks for your question,
avoid swimming for the next days till your pain disappear.
You should receive Non steroidal drug as diclofenac 75 mg twice daily after meal..muscle relaxant as tizanidine 4 mg once before sleep..topical diclofenac and topical muscle relaxant.
You should do x-ray on your lumbosacral spine if the symptoms persist more than 10 days.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
