Compression: Neuritis. Something is irritating nerves in your lower back and gluteal area. I advise a comprehensive phsical examination and basic xrays/ct scan of the ls spine. You can try using tylenol (acetaminophen) f you are not allergic.Avoid advil or aleve- these may worsen your gastriris. You must be evaluated with a physical exam and blood/urine studies.

Need more specifics: It is very hard to tell over the computer. Many conditions can cause abdominal or back discomfort. The fact that it gets worse with activity is the biggest clue and means you could be having referred musculoskeletal hip or back pain. Sometimes, problems with your vasculature can cause pain with activity. It is best to see your doctor for a proper history and physical.
