Hi, Welcome to healthcaremagic community forum...
If no nerve compression, disc prolapse or canal stenosis is seen on MRI scans, its probably muscular pain. You will need proper bed rest, limiting physical activity, heat fomentation, analgesics and muscle relaxants. A course of physiotherapy -infrared, shortwave diathermy with back exercises are very helpful.
