I was sitting on recliner last night and I started getting severe pain in my lower back. It's hard to sit walk and even coughing the pain is severe. Today it's worse and I can't even walk, sit or stand without the severe pain.

Hi there
Back pain of such severity warrants immediate medical attention.
Firstly get an Xray of the affected part.
Get expert opinion from an orthopedic surgeon after xray
For the time being , complete bed rest alon with a pain killer and muscle relaxant like Flexispaz and tramodol should suffice.
You can also apply hot water bottle along with a local gel like Oxalgin nanogel massage.
Good luck
