Common issue: Back pain is common around the world. For acute pain we recommend 48 hours of rest plus over the counter nsaids as long as you have no conditions that preclude safe use. Physical therapy is then given for 6-8 weeks. If you are still having issues after this time, see your md for an MRI and referral to a spine specialist.
