Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it will be very difficult to say anything on your symptoms but still we can discuss the possibilties . One is Gout , it can present like this so there is a need to get serum uric acid levels tested . Other can be spondyloarthropathy which can be triggered by a urine or stomach infection . Plus if you have a history of psoriasis or anybody in your family has it the likelihood of getting this kind of picture increases .
I think you should need to see a rheumatologist for this because examination is very important to see what is actually going on . Till then for pain relief you can take naproxen tablet if there is no contraindication for that.
Take care.

Dear Sir,
Gout does not affect the lower back but sometimes due to ongoing inflammation patient can have diffuse pain . Infected kidney will lead to hematuria , dull pain in lower back also and it can be unilateral , fever and sometimes burning micturition .
There can be two etiologies going on one has to see and examine you to correlate things.
