A slipped disc can be symptom free. If it causes pain, it is primarily due to the pressure on the nerve roots, the spinal cord or the cauda equina. The treatment will typically mean a brief period of bed-rest with appropriate painkillers. the more you rest the quicker the recovery expect the pain for about 7 to 10 days.

usually its associated with pains down your leg as well
it sounds like you have pulled a muscle rather than slipped a disc
