Hi there.
This seems to be a case of nerve root irritation in the back along with muscle spasm.
Kindly get an Xray of the back done and get it evaluated by an orthopedician.
Start with tablet XXXX twice daily, Tab XXXX SR 75 once daily + local heat massage and Oxalgin gel application.
Take this for 5 days.
If no relief occurs then you will have to get an MRI done.
Short course steroids under strict doctor supervision will help.
Good luck
