Likely strain: Low back pain is common and generally gets better with rest, ice, nsaids or physical therapy. If this persists see you doctor as imaging (x-rays, mri) may be required.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
