What Causes Persistent Lumbar Pain?
I have had, for several weeks now, lower back pain across the area at or below the beltline. Sleeping on either side increases the pain on that side and sometimes it is hard to even roll over. After a half hour out of bed, the pain decreases, but as soon as I sit I feel it again.

low back pain is a common complaint, you need to be worried if you have any sensory disturbances, or weakness in limbs or any urinary or bowel disturbances or pain persisting even after 3 weeks of rest,
i would recommend hot water fomentation, back strenghtening exercises, keep a pillow below your legs and knee while sleeping and some analgesics for pain. and wait for 3 weeks.
