Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your history this could be acute lumbago PIVD (disc problem) or muscle pull
In my opinion you should take anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen with muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone or tizanidine

Use hard bed to sleep
Stretching exercise may help you
Avoid sudden bending forward or lifting heavy weight
Of it persists or get worsens than you should go for an MRI LS spine for a confirmatory diagnosis.

I hope you will find my response relevant to your question Please feel free to ask for more clarification I will gladly answer you
wish you good health
take care
