Please see a orthopaedician and a physiotherapist. If not resolved by painkillers followed by physiotherapy even after 2 to 3 weeks might need a MRI scan of the back to rule out structural abnormalities .take rest,do not drive and no bending. Forward or picking up weights until pain resolves. Do your normal day to day activities until pain gets better
