Back muscle

Question

Back muscle

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I slightly pulled a muscle almost a week back and yesterday it became at it’s worse. Anytime I lift something, cough or have any movement I can feel the muscle spasm and become numb. The worse is when i sneeze, it’s almost unbearable pain and makes me sweat. I’ve been taking Advil for the pain and a icy hot gel on the spot. Just wanted to see my best options and why it hurts so bad.
