Soreness in lower left back 4 about 2 weeks. almost 50 year old female, peri-menopausal, arthritis, tendinitis, obesity, type 2 diabetes, neuropathy?

Muscle sprain: Given your other details, in particular being overweight and in your fifties, my strongest hunch is that you have a strained lumbar muscle. See a physical therapist before worrying further. This could also be arthritis of facet joint, the small joints supporting your vertebrae.
