Strain: The history suggests paravertebral muscle strain. Treatment is resting, applying alternating hot and cold applications and taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen and rubbing in liniment like bengay. Lateral sacral discomfort could have been due to sacroiliac joint inflammation and the same treatment should also help this should it recur.See MD if not improved.
