Hello

Low back ache may be due to many reasons like genito-urinary causes,musculoskeletal reasons etc.
You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen,X-ray L/S spine (AP/Lateral view),Thyroid profile.
It may also be due to low calcium level or muscle spasm.
