What Causes Lower Back Pain With Swelling?

I recently began doing a lot of bike riding. I have had a history of occasional lower back pain. One morning After a long bide ride I felt a sudden pain in my lower back similar to previous. This has lasted two days now And worse when sitting. I notice today that I have what appears to be swelling or fluid build up above my love handles or hip bones. What could be the cause and what should I do?

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Dear- first of all, thanks for using our service. I understand your concern and will give you my medical advise. One of the reason of your problem is that you just started bike riding. The body needs to get use to the new exercise specially if you have not been doing it and you need to start practicing in a daily basis, getting more minutes slowly. This can cause the lower back and hip pain. If the exercise has been heavy , you can experience inflammation in the area. I suggest to slow down the intensity and frequency of the exercise until the muscle get stronger to support it. You can try an analgesic as ibuprofen that will help the pain and inflammation.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
