Some of the most common cause of lower back pain are strain,injury,conditions of bone and joints etc.Pain due to any underlying disorder usually occurs after 40's.In your case it seems the pain is of strain due to incorrect posture as you do not have any other symptoms and pain was relieved by topical medications.
Some suggestions:
If you have desk job always sit in proper posture and take a break every hour.Just stand and stretch your body or a short walk.
Ensure that your bed has adequate supportive couch.
Do not life heavy objects as it would put strain on the back.
Apply hot packs for the pain relief 3 to 4 times in a day.
