? Exercise related: The achy low back pain may simply be from the recent increase in exercise. Discuss proper exercise techniques with your therapist. See your doctor if symptoms do not improve in a few weeks.

It is if the pain is: Limiting your daily activities or rehabilitation. If it does not improve you can ask your orthopedist to check your lower back out and recommend an appropriate course of treatment from medication, back support and/or pt initially.

Could be: However unless you need surgery, likely ortho will not do much for it. I would suggest getting an MRI of your spine to be sure. It will let you know if this muscle issue versus a spine nerve impingement also known as sciatica. Recommend seeing a pain/spine specialist instead.
