Hello,
I have studied your case.
Your waist and back pain can be due to muscle strain or renal calculi.
You may need x ray and Ultrasonography.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
MRI spine will help to see for disc compression.
Medication like methylcobalamine and analgesic will reduce pain.
You can do yoga exercises and focus on spine extension exercises.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Take care
