hi

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As by reading the history what I am able to understand is that the pain is travelling in nature and you are more of a gym exercising person.
Usually due to gym exercising certain symptoms like this arrive and are totally activity induced.

As you have stopped certain exercises in gym I will recommend you to focus on more of The core strengthening exercises since I feel due to heavy workout the spine is giving some signals. For which core stability is the one which needs attention.

also as you are gym exerciser you should respond in 7-10 days with core strengthening exercises and the symptoms can be minimized completely.

In my clinical practice I see patients coming due to gym injuries. putting them on physical therapy gets the best results in short time.
