I would definitely ice it. Try icing 20 minutes on and an hour off then
back to 20 minutes on for as long as you can. Wait several days and see if
it subsides. You probably pulled something down there. If the pain is
still there and as intense if not more 7 days later, then see a doctor. I
wouldn't do any exercise that aggravates it.

Tonight I hurt my lower back while squatting. I am around 74Kg (5´11¨)
and squat about 100kg so it´s a reasonable weight for my size. My form
looks good, but maybe I arch my back too much.The pain came during the squat but I stupidly continued to complete my
set. It is a sharp pain which is right in the lower centre of the back
and does not feel muscular. It is now sore in various seated positions
and especially as I get-up or lower myself onto a chair.Can anyone with experience advise what might have been damaged ( spine,
nerve, muscle ) and what the best remedy could be? Should I take
anything? How long should I stay off squats?Cheers
