Inflammatory pain!: You may have several different problems, but i suspect inflammation, whose hallmark is pain worsening with immobility and improving with movement. Stiffness as well: the 'gel' phenomena in arthritis!

Exercise : Need to be more proactive in terms of a daily exercise program in terms of flexibility and cardio with limiting prolonged sitting which generates 4times your body weight across the discs of the lower back. If overweight, get trim and if you smoke stop as both accelerates disc degeneration.
