Low back pain: Occasionally, a pop can be heard that is benign, mostly coming from the small facet joints. Another pop can be from a disc herniation, or an annular tear, the outside of the disc.... That can lead to back pain, and occasionally some buttock or leg pain. Avoid strenuous exercise and lifting, take anti-inflammatories, and do lots of walking. A cold pack after 20 minutes by some heat may help a lot too. Immobilization is typically bad.

Back pain: The back pain can be caused by muscle strain, spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... It sounds like you might experience disc herniation or tear. Please seek help from a pain management doctor, you might benefit from a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
