See below: Sounds like you might be having muscle muscle spasms and after sitting down your back muscle are more relaxed and then when you stand up, more is required of the muscles and they may be resisting. This might be due to an injury or other issues. I would recommend seeing your doctor for an evaluation to rule out anything serious.
