Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen for pain.
In case of not getting relief you may require MRI back after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy.
Avoid forward bending and heavy lifting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
