Sad that you have pain in such a young age.
Well you’re having severe back pain can because of many reasons and need proper examination
I would suggest
1. Not to stand for long time and if you have to stand than take rest that is lay down for 5 10 min in between every 30 min
2. Do back extension exercise ( search McKenzie back extension exercise on google)
3. Avoid heavy weight lifting for 2 weeks
4. Avoid bending forward ( back flexion)
5. Hot water fomentation for 15 min 3 times a day
6. Apply local ointment like volini at painful area
Try this for week if you are getting improvement than continue for next 3 week also
If not than consult local Physiotherapist
Thank you

Chiropractic Mobilization will help.
Do the cat/cow stretch. Get on all fours, with your arms straight and your hands directly under your shoulders; your knees hip-width apart.
