Hi there .
Your symptoms correlate to disease known as Seronegative Spondyloarthropathy.
Firstly ...kindly get a Xray of the lower spine and pelvis done concentrating on the Sacroiliac joints .
Ge a complete arthritis panel blood test done .
Start on an amti arthritic medication like Indomethacin .
Take as much rest as you can till the pain subsides
Short wave diathermy and local gel massage helps .
After the pain subsides get training on spinal mobilisation exercises by a physiotherapist and do them religiously .
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck

Hi,
For acute low backache do following to relieve the pain-
Lie on hard bed
Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting
Do back stretching and strengthening exercises under guidance of physiotherapist.
Doing hot fomentation and applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful to relieve the spasm.
If above measures does not help, consult an orthopaedician for proper examination and management.
