Get exam: Weight lifting may be the clue. Rotated SAcro-Iliac joint, herniated disc, or other local pathology can be determined in a good exam, which should,include a rectal exam. Sitting increases intra-discal pressure, and improper lifting could have forced muscles or joints into painful positions. For now, try doing some log rolls with 1 leg flexed, then change to,other side. Good luck.
