Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
It is possible you have spine or pancreas problem.
Low back pain relieving on lying on your front could be due to lumbar canal stenosis, pancreatitis, some kinds of spondylolisthesis.
I would advise you get a lumbosacral spine Xray and am abdominal ultrasound to confirm.
Avoid fatty food, bending backwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region.
I hope I have answered your query.
