Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.

Backache,only after waking up in the morning can occur due to wrong sleeping postures or wrong body posture during the day time.

A weak lumbar spine due to calcium / vitamin D deficiency can be the underlying cause.
A muscle strain in the back region also can cause such kind of pain.

What is your daily schedule?
Do you travel more during the daytime?
Do you have any extra workload ?
Did you have a recent fall or lifted anything heavy?

Let me know the answers so that i can guide you further.

I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.

Thank you.
Best wishes.
