Hello,
I have studied your case and most probably you are having back muscle spasm and this can be due to heavy weight lifting or sudden bending.I would suggest you to follow these steps.
1.Hot water fomentation and volini gel local application.
2.Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting.
3.Do not drive or travel.
4.Muscle relaxant and pain killer should be taken.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
