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 a couple of days. Avoid bending down or lifting heavy weights. Apply topical analgesic ointment over your back and some short wave diathermy under a physiotherapist 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.
