welcome to Health care magic.
1.No, not advised to run along with pain.
2.Visit your GP get an x-ray lumbar spine done, and depending on findings you may have to get MRI done ( which will help to find out your disc and nerve status ).
3.After that depending on the findings, you may have to do some simple exercise on daily basis which will relief from the pain.
4.Do not simply bare the pain or take pain killers, please evaluate the cause and get treatment accordingly.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
