Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma.
For pain, you can continue tablet motrin.
Along with that apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Gentle application of heating pads will also help.
In case of not getting relief, you may require MRI back after spine surgeon consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
