Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there. Your symptoms are suggestive of muscle spasm. The main treatment required is taking adequate rest to relax these muscles. So try taking bed rest for couple of days. Avoid bending down or lifting heavy weights. Apply topical analgesic ointment over your back and some short wave diathermy under a physiotherpaist might help. This sort of pain can occur when your muscles have been getting fatigued over a long time. Also check your vitamin D levels as well. Low vitamin D levels can cause muscle cramps and spasms. Take plenty of fluids.
