Hello,
You have soft tissue injury in the lower back (right side). Since the area affected is sore, inflamed apply cold compress for relieve. Once the inflammation reduces, healing process will start. Include food that are anti-inflammatory in nature in your regular diet (almonds, walnuts, dry beans, avocados, broccoli, kale, blue berries, turmeric, etc.). You can take Acetaminophen, one stat when needed, take plenty of water to avoid constipation. Take fiber rich food.
Get clinically examined in the ER to detect if the injury is musculotendinous in nature or tendon / ligament is affected, then you may need medical aid and NSAIDS. Get connected to a physical therapist, you need rest but not total immobility. Get X-ray done to rule out ant fracture or hair line cracks. You will be treated accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
