<bot>: HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. In your condition an intervertebral disc bulge of lumbosacral spine or a strain/sprain can be suspected. A physical examination with an orthopedic can give clue for that and an X-ray followed by MRI if required can confirm it. For such cases in my patients I advise NSAIDs like Diclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotrophic Chat Doctor. I also advise them to have a rest of 4 to 5 days. I send them for physiotherapy along with this. Lumbar supporting belt also will be helpful for some. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
