Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that you must go for proper test like Lumbar X-ray or MRI and take Physiotherapy for pain.
Meanwhile avoid Bending by back and take Tablet Calcium and mild painkiller.
First diagnose the cause and take treatment.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
