in my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead.When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. When working , maintain a good posture of your back . You can also apply some good anti inflammatory pain killer gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and do some back strengthening exercises for 10 mins twice a day.
