Hello,
Please visit a physiotherapist who can assess you and know the cause of pain
As a soft ware developer you must be spending a lot of time on chair in front of a computer .plus as you mentioned you have been travelling that might have aggrevated your pain.
You may take heat pack for 20mins thrice in a day to relieve pain.
You can wear a lumbbosacral belt which will support your back and reduce pain.
Please its advised for you to strerch and strengthen your back muscles .
You may use a good chair with entire back support at your office .a good ergonomics is important .
Take care
