Low back tightness: if you have a physical job/exercise could be musculoskeletal If not allergic see if Aleve (naproxen) or ibuprofen help,as well as warm bath. Alternatively could be kidneys and need to check for infection , or could be constipation, or rarely colon issue/pelvic issue. Follow up with doctor/ urgent care this week.
