Greetings, Sorry about your pain.  Your back muscles are not supported by abdominal muscles just because back muscles are stiff and long. When I say back muscles it includes hamstrings, calf, so stretch them.  there are other muscles which a therapist can assist by examining you. This is not serious issue,  just muscle imbalance.   If you have any other symptoms please do mention so that I can broaden by view.
Next Steps
See a physio with the above in mind. they will assist you.
Health Tips
ice your back muscles for 5 to 10 min twice a day or as needed.  place pillow between thigh when sleeping in side lying position
