When I had a similar pain, my doctor had to first x-ray my back to satisfy the insurance company, knowing full well it would show nothing, then wait for me to complain again so he could order an MRI which showed a herniated lumbar disc. Then he sent me to a physical therapist who manipulated my spine and had me do excersizes to help push the disc back in place thus relieving the pressure on the nerve and reducing the pain shooting down my leg.
This has kept things under control for several years now. I made a few adjustments to my riding position on my road bike to help stretch my back. Now the more I ride, the better my back feels.
Your situation may or may not be similar. My suggestion is to see a doctor.
