There are some things you can do to help (the classic, lay on your back, relax then, one leg at a time, slowly bring each knee up to your chin and hold for a minute or two, alternating between each leg. In the end you want to do both legs). It's a good thing to do as maintenance too.
If it causes more pain well then you gotta listen to your body and you should see a doctor. When it comes to your back, I have found seeing a doctor is a good thing as back failures give you the oddest symptoms that earlier experiences will fail to correctly deduce.
Welcome to old age.

You will hear from others that to reduce the likelihood of it recurring, you will need to work on strengthening your core (basically, your stomach muscles). Your core provides support to your lower back.
I was on a motorcycle trip the second time I experienced this. I was a day from home and couldn't stand, let alone walk, let alone ride a motorcycle. I spent two days in a hotel room before I could move. On the third morning I tried to get up, found that I could sit on my bike, and decided to ride home (about 600 miles). The riding position on my bike (low bars, rear set pegs) allowed me to stretch out my back and was actually quite therapeutic. I arrived home no worse for wear, but I did follow up with a doctor afterwards. Best of luck to you. It will get better.
thank you all for these hopefull words!
