Brief Answer:
Could be due to spondylosis or muscle spasm
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query. Your back pain and groin pain could be due to spondylosis or could be due to muscle spasm, thus causing the pain. Hot compress over the affected areas should provide relief. The vicious cycle of pain and spasm needs to be broken and I would insist you to take paracetamol or acetaminophen 500 mg two tablets together twice or thrice daily for next 3 days. This should ease the problem and make it go away. If it does not, I would insist you to get a X Ray of Lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) done and to see a physical therapist with the reports. Based on the findings he would be able to demonstrate to you proper exercises that should provide relief.
Regarding the pain after ejaculation, I think that it is due to fatigue of the penile muscles and the involved muscles. You would need to make the process less intense.
Feel free to write back.
Regards
