Lower back pain (right side only)
Lower back was having pain uniformly two weeks back, now it's in the right side
Whenever I run, kick a football with my right leg, bent down to touch my leg it pains a lot
I had played football a couple of times over the last two weeks and now the pain has worsened
It's more painful when I try to touch my left leg than my right leg
Whenever I shift a bit in bed also, it pains now
What can I do?

Stop all athletic activities until you see a orthopaedician and particularly avoid bending forward. If it is a first time occurrence rest and painkillers should make you better followed by physiotherapy. If all above measures fail then you might need an MRI scan and meet a spine surgeon

You need to rest and take medications for your condition. Don't try to bend forward and touch your toes, you will aggravate the issue.

You should get MRI of your spine done after examination by an orthopedic surgeon.
There may be a disc problem
