thank you for your question....
kindly answer the floowoing questions so that it becomes easier for me to understand your problem better...

how old are you?
since when are you experiencing this pain?
where exactly is it located?
the swelling is hard or soft?
is there any history of external injury to that area??


anyways you should visit a doctor
take rest
avoid bending or strenuous job
have some painkiller for now
do an XRAY/ MRI lumbosacral spine

kindly contact me with the reports so that further management can be planned....

hope this was helpful...
