Hello,
Pain may be due to lumbosacral muscle spasm or lumbar spondylosis or radiculopathy.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done x-ray lumbosacral spine, avoid heavy weight lifting, use tablet aceclofenac with muscle relaxant twice a day for five days.
If no improvement please consult your physician/orthopedic surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
