Hello there.....well Low back pain has number of causes...from faulty posture to more complicated rheumatism...but at a young age it is generally due to a muscle spasm at lower back,,what you need to do is get hot water fomentation 5 times a day to your lower back...apply any diclofinac based gel on the surface twice a day ...and just take things a bit slow...take some rest avoid unnecessary bike riding and climbing of stairs or lifting heavy weight...you should be ok by a weeks time however if the problem persisits an Xray of back along with consultation would be necessary.
Regards & take care
