It may be due to nerve compression in disc. When there is no pain do back muscle strengthening exercises. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury or buldge. Consult orthopaedic dr. Physiotheraphy might help.

If symptoms are persistent, you will need to get a MRI of LS spine. Avoid bending forwards, lifting weight and driving. If disc prolapse consult a nearest spine or neurosurgeon or contact me.
