Hello,
I have studied your case.
According to your symptoms back pain can be due to diffuse disc bulge compressing your lumbar spine or muscle sprain.
I will advice for MRI lumdar spine .
Till time some medication like methylcobalamine and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
