Muscle spasm usually get relived with physio and muscle relaxants. If it is still persistent you need to take rest and do physiotherapy as your strain is still persisting on the back.
First relieve stress on back , maintain proper posture , sleep on hard and straight surface.
Continue you medication along with topical aceclo gel and hot pack with physiotherapy including interferential therapy or ultrasound therapy.

Rest , hot pack , continue physiotherapy

Hello. By history the problem seems to be disc herniation in lower spine usually called sciatica. Xray does not shows disc or nerve compression.
Next Steps
You need to take an mri of lumbosacral spine. I operate a clinic where we treat disc issues non surgically. We have centre in Bengaluru also.
Health Tips
Until then do not bend and do not lift weights. Sleep in the sides. Avoid bike riding.
