It will take a combination of avoiding painful activities for a while, back strengthening exercises, and medication. Take advil 600 mg 3 times a day. Google lumbar strengthening exercises and do those. Avoid repetitive bending at the waist and lifting from the floor. If no better in 4-5 weeks, see an orthopedic surgeon.

Hope it helps!!
