Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

There are numerous causes for low back pain. The commonest causes are
* any problems related to the lumbosacral spine like disc disease,lumbar strain, a nerve irritation, facet joint problem , spinal stenosis , inflammatory arthritis etc
* Intra abdominal causes like Kidney related conditions, liver problems, pancreatic problems etc
* Pelvic inflammatory conditions in female patients
* Vascular causes

So, a detailed physical examination and appropriate investigations are necessary to establish the correct diagnosis.

In the meantime, use some analgesics/ muscle relaxant preparations along with ice packing of the affected area once in 2 hours to alleviate the pain.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
