General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef, a general surgeon answering your query.

Possibly you have strained your back muscles during exercise, and this is what is causing such pain. I would suggest you to take some anti inflammatory drugs available on the counter after meals. Also some cold compress will help your back.If the pain persists, or radiates, then I would advise you for an MRI of your back. The treatment will depend on the report of the MRI.

In the mean time, you can go to the physiotherapist and take his advice on this.

I would also advise you to make some effort to reduce your weight and do some regular exercises to help you in this kind of problem apart from helping in your overall health.

Thanks for using healthcare magic forum for your health query. Good luck.
