Muscle strain: It might be muscle strain. Kidney stones can cause back ache but usually severe pain. Ovarian cysts can sometimes cause back pain. Check with your primary care provider if it does not go away soon.

Low back pain: R u sitting in chair properly, or slouched? Is the chair comfortable, or old & saggy? R u overweight? Pain may be due to muscle spasm from sitting in same position too long/ wrong position/lack of proper support by chair /lifting improperly earlier in the day. Moist heat & NSAID should help as will correcting causes. Other conditions can cause referred pain to back. See fp if no improvement.
