Brief Answer:
Lumbosacral strain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail and it seems that you are suffering from a condition called lumbosacral strain.
In this condition,there is a spasm of the paraspinal muscles of the lower back.
This results in moderate amount of pain in the lower back region.

I would suggest you to take analgesic muscle relaxant tablets like ibuprofen,tramadol with thiocolchicoside/chlorzoxazone.

This will reduce the pain and spasm to a considerable extent.

Apply local analgesic gel/spray followed by hot fomentation.

Do not lift anything heavy or bend forward.

If the pain does not subside,then you should consult an orthopaedic surgeon and get an Xray of the lumbosacral spine done.

I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.

Thank you.
Kind regards.
