This could be anything from a bulging disc to a herniated disc. It could be a muscle orientated.
Try a pillow between the legs, don't sit with your legs crossed, try and sit right. Don't slouch. Lay with a pillow under your legs.
If it gets worse see your primary physician and see what he says, he'll probably have you get some MRI's and see what's going on in there.
Try some ice packs and Ibuprofen for now.

My lower back pain is Arthritis. When a neighbor took me dancing, once a week, the pain was gone in six weeks. When he became sick, six weeks later the pain was back. I now get myself dancing once a week. Don't do all types of exercise, for some of them make it worse.
A doctor can tell by looking at an X-ray if you have arthritis.
