Hello,
Most probably it is spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
