Bad back - pulled muscle?

What can i do to ease it? My back is really painful and I've had this pain for about 9 days. I think I've pulled muscle or something. I'm walking hunched up and am struggling to do normal everyday movements. I was pulling weeds in the garden and felt a spasm of pain in my lower back, left side over my bum.

I've used Deep Heat, volterol gel, a microwaveable heat pad when I'm sitting at night, stretching exercises but it's still painful. What can I do? I'm thinking of trying to see an osteopath.

Try ice instead of heat but just make appointment to see a physio.
