[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for contacting me at "Ask a Doctor". I will try to answer your question to the best of my ability. This sounds like a simple back strain which is very common.  You may have strained some soft tissues in the low back such as the muscles or ligaments.  Usually, these will settle spontaneously in due course.  Ice will help with pain relief and sometimes applications of heat can help with stiffness.  Continue with simple over-the-counter pain medications for the moment.  If the symptoms persist, then I would suggest seeing your primary care physician. I do not think there is anything to worry about at this time, but certainly if your symptoms worsen, I would consult with your doctor or go to the emergency room. I hope this information is useful for you. Please do not hesitate to message us back if you have any further questions. Best wishes, A Chat Doctor.
