I think there is nerve compression.. Sciatica pain or radiculopathy. U have to avoid jerks...
Avoid heavy weight s. See when pain increase s on front bending or back bending .
If on front bending pain increases-do back extension exercises
If on back bending pain increases - do back flexion exercises .
Next Steps
1. Take deep heating at back for atleast 30 min twice daily for a week
2. Do exercises as prescribed 5 times with 5 sec hold.
Health Tips
if any issue contact me personally on phone.
