Soon: When the pain is disrupting or daily activities, imcluding sleep, this needs to be evaluated. This can be from spine problems to infection. Be well.

In about 2 weeks: Benign back pain tends to resolve in about 2 weeks. If you find it progressively improving then you could wait further otherwise see a physician.
