Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

That could be a muscular spasm or a kind of nerve compression due to heavy lifting , vigorous movements , trauma or injury , bad sitting or sleeping postures .
These given symptoms may show some sciatica due to neurovascular inflammation which may subsides simultaneously within days or extend to chronic pain if un treated properly .
For now i may suggest advil tab when needed , hot massages with topical gels , muscle relaxants , B12 vitamin supplementation will be effective for mild cases else i recommend MRI on spine for proper evaluation and management .
