Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

The first possibility is of any kidney stones which may present as such sharp pain radiating to the back. SO you need to get an ultrasound abdomen and also urine analysis should be done.

The second possibility is muscle spasm in the lower left back and I suggest using warm fomentations,avoidance of heavy activities, taking some medications ( muscle relaxant, NSAID and topical muscle relaxant cream)
I find this answer helpful
