What Leads To Cracking Sound At Back And Pain After Lifting Heavy Object?

Hello, so ever since I lifted this heavy object off the ground I felt a small pop on my back and now its been a week and I have trouble bending down. But when i foam roller the lower right side of my back (where all the pain seems to be coming from) it feels better and i can do alot more mobility exercises. I also feel a hard bump on that lower right side of my back.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Condition of cracking sound at back with pain after lifting heavy object indicates possible issue of para-spinal muscle spasm or strain most likely. My guidelines for better recovery:
- Local application of heating pad
- Use of analgesic spray or ointment containing Diclofenac, linseed oil with or without Capsaicin
- Assisted physiotherapy or foam roller as using already
- Avoid sudden bending, weight lifting
- Postural adaptations for avoidance of certain postures
- Control of blood sugar

Consult your doctor if necessary for pain control or need of an X-ray.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
