Brief Answer: not likely Detailed Answer: Hello, Back pain due to over masturbation is unlikely to be a major concern. There should be some other reason for the back pain. Anything connected to the lower back is likely related to the lumbo sacral spine. I suggest you get an xray of the LS spine. You havent mentioned your age or the kind of work you do. Posture is of utmost importance. Unless you get an xray to see if there has been any degeneration, prolapse or arthritis, i cannot recommend the gym. Once we know that these causes have been ruled out, you can start gymming again. Until then, hot fomentation on your back, use a lumbar belt at all times and stretch under supervision. Medication is the last step.

Brief Answer: spine problem Detailed Answer: It definitely seems like z spinal problem . It could likely be a disc prolapse . I suggest you get the xray to get a better picture of the problem . Meanwhile use a belt and apply hot fomentation . I don't advise going to the gym unless a prolapse has been fouled out . You can stretch but slowly . Calcium supplementation should help much.
