Hi,
From history it seems that all tests are normal there is possibility of having some back muscles strain giving spasm of muscles giving this problem.
Lack of physical exercises can give rise to this type of strain easily.
Take analgesic, muscle relaxant medicine for 3 days will give you relief.
Apply some muscle relaxant cream locally.
Do regular physical exercises like running, swimming etc.
Ok and take care.
