General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi! The area you are referring to has a bunch of muscles called Paraspinal muscles which are necessary for the stability of your posture and your movements. Hence small muscle injuries can cause a lot of pain/discomfort while movement.
You just need local analgesic gel or spray and need to rest . Restrict all strenuous activities and especially those which involve heavy weight lifting.
