Back pain is common. Nothing to worry. Use hot compression and diclofenac gel locally. It will be helpful.

Try to sleep on left lateral position(over your left arm)
Avoid sleeping over back
While getting up from bed tilt on lateral position and get up
While sitting make sure to use lower back rest
Avoid hot fomentation over Lower abdomen area
Try doing gentle back stretching like camel pose
