Pain in the right lower back.
I have right lower back pain that feels like muscle spasm and gets very stiff .
This pain happens when I stand for sometime or walk or go up stairs or change positions .
I don't feel the pain when I am sitting or sleeping or at rest but when I change position I feel it again.
The pain is in the same place and feels good with massage and hot compress.
This is happening for more than 7 months now.

Not scary. Since it has been going on for 7 months, you should definitely see a Spine Specialist. You need to have spinal clinical assessment and further investigations to ascertain the cause of symptoms.
