Musculoskeletal: Low back pain intermittent & one sided in young male suggests sacroiliac joint disorder with sciatica. My experience is epidemic of pain pattern that has accompanied popularity & evolution of extreme sports over the past 30 years; whereat multitude of young gladiator males are falling onto their buttocks with force & frequency. Skateboards & snowboards infamous for such injury. Heard first here.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. Can take up to 6 months to go away on its own. 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.
