Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely a back muscle strain.But if pain radiating to your hip or legs then it is better to have a consultation with orthopedician to rule out problems like lumbar disc herniation.In case of such symptoms a X ray followed by MRI might be needed.For muscle strain i treat my patients with muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like aceclofenac and advise to do cold compress initially for some days and after that warm compress.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
