Hello,
I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam. Local pain in this region is not usually related to any serious medical disorders. Anyway, I would recommend performing a lumbar spine x-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR for inflammation). Physiotherapy can help improve your situation. I would also recommend avoiding prolonged sitting or standing up position and try to correct your posture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
