Hello
Thank you for using healthcaremagic
I read your question and understood your concern
It can be even worse problem like discal hernia.
That can be diagnosed with MRI, so if your pain continues without any improvement over the next weeks you should get an MRI of the back and see the doctor.
I wish you quick recovery
