Back soreness: Muscles spasm from an injury can last for some time if not treated long enough, for daily activities like sports/lifting/etc can exacerbate it. If bony structures of back are ok, doc might prescribe a muscle relaxer, which u can combine with otc NSAID for pain & inflammation. Moist heat & therapeutic massage help, too.
