Answer 1

It sounds like you strained your back muscles which can be excrutiating painful. You may find Physical therapy will work better for you for the pain. The worst thing you can do is lie around, keep moving as much as it hurts, it will help.  

Answer 2

more than likely you have thrown your back out i have done it a few times myself  i have a fairly active life and without pills or anything it will go away in something like 1-2 and a half weeks but it is good to go see him, he may be able to speed the process up if that is what the problem is

Answer 3

You probably just threw out your back.that happens normally to alot of people.
