Nerve impingement: can be caused by being sandwiched between two spinal bones, pressed by a bulging. It can cause muscle spasm and back pain. Prevention treatment is always recommended. This condition must be professionally managed. See interventional pain management specialist for definitive diagnosis and management. It is the same as a pinched nerve.

Ice: Put some ice on it and take ibuprofen - see how that does over the next couple of hours. If the pain persists or redness develops then you should see your doctor.
