Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain.
For further assessment you may require MRI back and nerve conduction studies after consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
