Muscle injury: You prob have a muscle injury rather than disc or nerve damage. Suggest intermittent ice and moist heat, 15 each time alternating about 3-4 times per day. Advil will also be effective as anti-inflame and for pain. If still present in one week, or worsening, then seek medical help. Hopefully it will improve in the next few days.

Nerve impingement?: can be caused by being sandwiched between two spinal bones, pressed by a bulging disc. 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.
