See your doctor: if this is persistent or progressive or recurrent, need to get checked out. Either way, you shouldn't be in pain in that area, and we can't help any more than to say see your MD and follow recommendations for x-Ray or whatever's needed, after a thorough examination. Could also be simple as a pulled spinal muscle, but your note concerns me for even a possible vertebral fracture!
