Here is some guidanc: Back pain is a common problem. it is often caused by excessive muscular activity like lifting weights. it typically goes away in 2-3 wks. The best solution is to take rest and sleep on a hard surface for 2-3 weeks. Take pain medicine like paracetamol 2 tablets 6 hourly for a couple of days and then reduce the dose to as needed. Do take a walk or two daily so that your muscles do not become lazy.
