considering your height and complaints, the pain most commonly appears due to an intervertebral instability inbetween your lumbar vertebraes, which could be a dislocation or an irritation of nerve root, or some chronic inflamation. I suggest an MRI lateral lumbar spine here, it will may the problem more clear. Consult an orthopedician after an MRI and avoid heavy weight lifing and rigorous exercise till a we have a diagnosis. A pain killer like tab voveron 75 mg as required can relieve the pain.
