For one week after a full day of chores low back/sacral region to the left very painful. no meds r working. ct scan normal?

Not surprising CT ..: Is normal. Sounds like low back strain. Please see your doctor for a full history and examination. This will likely resolve with conservative treatment - antiinflammatory medicine, perhaps muscle relaxants, and ice. Physical therapy may also be helpful, especially if the above is not very successful. If all of that fails, and you have symptoms extending down a leg, an MRI may be needed.
