Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to lumbalgia.
It can be caused by various reasons such as muscular or skeletal causes.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Moving is also important, I do not recommend to stay in bed.
Gentle stretching exercises can also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
