Your pain is aggravating due to nerve compression you need to take medications for nerve impingement...followed by physiotherapy sessions and if you have muscular spasm anywhere in the body it can be treated by dry needling...avoid bending and twisting and avoid lifting heavy weights...

Since you have back pain persistent for long duration. That simply shows that it is due to postural imbalance. So you should consult the nearby Physiotherapist for proper evaluation for development of exercise program involving stretching and strengthening exercises of the back.

The nerve immerging from your lower back is getting compressed. This could be due to any disc prolapse in the lumbar spine. Which is caused due to weak muscles.
Deal it holistically. Medicines to relive nerve pain, TENS therapy from a trained therapist, general conditioning eg. Walking, aerobics, swimming or any of them. Vitamins for never strengthening and exercises with stretches.

Back pain most of the time is due to postural problems and muscle imbalance. Muscles causing back pain directly or indirectly are gluteus muscles, hamstring, piriformis and quadratus lumborum. Back pain can be due to disc problems but research says pivd resolve in a week or two. So these muscles are the main reason behind extended back pain.
