Hi
Thanks for your query

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are likely to be having muscular pain. Rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful in pain relief. You can further investigation it by MRI of lumbar spine if pain is not relieved by rest and analgesic.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
