Likely LS strain: Perhaps you became injured while doing housework. Most likely muscular strain, but pain generator could be facet, sacroiliac joint, discogenic dysfnctn. Early on, could apply cold compress locally, later use warmth. Could try minor analgesic such as OTC acetaminophen. If persists contact your doctor, and uncover answers.

Woke up with back pain that is so bad I can barely walk, sit up, or even bend. If I stretch my left leg out the pain in my lower left back starts to hurt. Even my butt area hurts when I sit down. I didn't do anything to hurt it just woke up this way?
