Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

You might be suffering from prolapsed intervertebral disc(PIVD).

These generally occurs due to heavy weight lifting.

I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray / MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.

Regards.
