Hi... I Am 46 This Year. I Have Been Having

Hi...

I am 46 this year. I have been having lower back pain during sleep for a couple of years but whenever I get up from my sleep, I am fine.

But 5 days ago, I have been having this lower back pain and I have difficulty getting up, I needed to shift myself to the side n push myself up with my hand.

I am fine while walking or doing other chores but whenever I bend my back, I have this pain, not a sharp one but uncomfortable pain.

Even when I am lying down, I can't bend my back, needed to get on one side first.

Is this an initial stage of a slip disc?

Thank you
