Hi.. Kindly get an MRI done for your back...Since you know that you have such issue it is very important to know how severe was the damage... As of now.. I recommend you to do Lot of icing for your back... frequently... Rest.. No exercises... Once MRI taken share with us the report to guide you more precisely... Else meet a orthopaedic... Hope this is helpful for you..
