In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant for 3-5 days depending upon the pain and symptoms and have proper bed rest for a week. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, Do not strain your self or over exert. U can also apply some good anti inflammatory pain killer gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally
