Hello,

I have studied your case.
Usually nerve compression may lead to back pain, you may need MRI for this.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
