Dear patient
This may be Muscle spasm or back sprain. Have you injured your back recently or lifted heavy weight? Both may be reason for sprain. I would advise Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If it's normal start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day and tab ultracet p one at bedtime for 7 days. Apply nise gel locally at site of pain thrice a day. If Xray report is abnormal need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon.
