Brief Answer:
Lower back pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for details about the problem.

Does it pain while you urinate? Do you have constipation? Do you have back issues related to lumbar spine earlier?
You need to get an Ultrasound scan of the kidney, bladder and prostrate gland. There is a high chance of prostate enlargement obstructing the urinary flow (previous history of frequency and urgency) that can pile up urine in the kidney and presses on it.
You need a blood counts, urine routine investigations also along with the Ultrasound scan of the bladder, kidney and prostrate gland.
Having no fever is a good sign but the above are basic investigations to understand what worsens the pain.
If it is not kidney involvement, then MRI lumbar spine is needed
Let me know other details.
