prednisone is your only friend.

Seriously, see a good doctor sooner rather than later, untreated injury and subsequent inflammation can result in long term damage.

To be perfectly honest you very well might be thinking twice whenever you bend your back the rest of your life, it can be that bad. You can feel that little weirdness and you will be signaled with sharp pain each time you bend and lift at the wrong placement. My experience is no matter how good you can recover it's never like it was.
