Leg length issue?: Compensatory scoliosis cauased by leg-length discrpancy will cause back pain on the side of the longer leg when sitting down. Also, inflammation is worse when immobility. See someone in phyiscal medicine or rheumatology!

See below: Low back pain that occurs more with sitting is suggestive of pain coming from the lumbar discs. When we sit, the pressure in these discs rises and can cause pain in discs that have some degeneration. It is important to change positions between sitting and standing at lease once an hour if you can.
