Back pain: Low back pain is common and often due to strain. If the discomfort is affected by bending and twisting, it points to a muscular origin. Steady pain radiating into the buttock or leg may be due to a disc bulging or herniation. Rest,warm or cold packs,rubbing liniment,NSAIDS like ibuprofen and muscle relaxants should help. See an orthopedic surgeon if symptoms persist. Arthritis is less likely.

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a pain/spine specialist. Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis. Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc. Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.
