Happens Possibly due to a nerve compression at the lumbar level of spine. PLease do add more information if last week you had a fall or any kind of incident that affected your back area and also what profession are you in also does matter . The Occupation of yours has a greater impact on your back.
I will advise you to consult an Occupational Therapist and if possible provide some more information,
unless and until the nature of incident is known , I shall certainly avoid prescribing you any exercise regime, else there are pretty good chances of worsening the condition.
You might have to get an CT /Xray done / visit neurologist . that all can be told once history is known regarding the problem.
Next Steps
Get Consulted by Occupational therapist or may provide details at Practo.

Hi.... Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you're overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain.
Use proper body mechanics..... Build muscle strength and flexibility.Abdominal and back muscle exercises core-strengthening exercises help condition these muscles so that they work together like a natural corset for your back.... Consult orthopedician....
