Bed? arthritis?: Could be the bed you are sleeping in, check for firmness of the mattress; also it could be a form of arthritis which is worse in am and gets better as day goes on. If persistent, see doctor.

No single cause: There are several possibilities for what you describe. A rheumatologist can help differentiate among them and get you on treatment. Don't accept that this kind of back pain (worse in the am and better with activity) is normal or just from overuse. It's probably neither.
