I have sacralization l5 but had no pain until i lift heavy weight a week ago. the pain is very mild on difen b12. could be serious or a muscle strain?

Strain: as long as your symptoms are improving it is likely that it is just a spring and will hopefully continue to improve. it is important to remember however that with sacral isation leave biomechanics are not normal and extension strengthening exercises for your back would help.

Probably: Probably 'musculoskeletal' pain, spasm. If it persists or any 'nerve' type pain or pain in legs (weakness, numbness, etc), I would see PCP.
