Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You may be having two main possiblity along with many. First is likely to be strain of back or mild disc prolapse due heavy weight lifting. It can be confirmed by MRI of lumbar spine. MRI also excludes many other causes of backache.It's treatment is rest for few weeks followed by physiotherapy.Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful for pain relief.
Second possiblity is weakness of bones and muscles due to vitamin and trace elements deficiency. You can get your vitamin D level as it is important cause of backache and if found low you can take supplements of vitamin D3.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
