Hi
It seems like a muscle sprain. Take rest and use hot water bottle application. Diclofenac gel application may reduce the pain. Also aceclofenac plus paracetamol combination tablet twice a day for three days is enough. If not relieved by next week, back stretching exercises may relieve pain.
Thank you
