hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
there might be muscle spasm due to sudden flexion of spine
this is you first episode or repeatedly having same problem
you need methylcobalamine , muscle relaxant with analgesic[myoril plus]
take rest , , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
you may need MRI SPINE if pain doesnt get relived
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be muscle strain. To relieve pain and for healing- Avoid forward bending and lifting heavy weight, Lie on hard bed, take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Take proper rest and get it evaluated be your doctor for further management.
Hope this will help you
