We need more description of your symptoms in order to advise you. Most common cause would be strain of a paraspinal muscle which should resolve in several days. Ruptured disc, kidney stone,early shingles are much less likely causes. See your MD as needed. You could try applying alternating cold and warm compresses &/or taking anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular aerobic exercise will help by making your muscles stronger and more flexible. It may take 3 months for the full effect. If that is not your choice, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
