Dr. Thomas Deberardino answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Back strain likely: If the pain does not resolve in 1-2 weeks, you should seek medical evaluation by your primary care physician. Physical therapy and decreased activity may be indicated along with a course of anti-inflammatory medications.
