Back strain : Most likely this is an acute back strain. I would rest, ice for 48hrs if it is swollen. Over the counter antiinflammatories may help as well if you have no restrictions or allergies to taking them. Then heat. If it doesn't improve in 48-72hrs or worsens seek treatment. Usually the strains resolves within 7-10days. Hope that helps!
