Spams: You probably right as back aches are usually muscle spasms sometimes the can signify kidney problems so see a doctor if symptoms persist.

Sounds right: That sounds like a pulled muscle in your back. Be seen for a diagnosis. It could be something like a kidney stone, though from your story, it sounds like a muscle strain.
