It isn't necessarliy muscular. I thought mine was too, but it turns out to be a herniated 5th lumbar disk. You might consider a doctor or chiropractor.

As noted above, give it rest. Exercise is more preventative than curative here. Sitting is the worst position; avoid it as much as possible. My doctor told more that sitting puts more pressure on it than even running on pavement. Can you spend the weekend standing, walking and lying down (ie, no sitting)?

I hope you feel better soon. Try an ice pack. Most people find relief with ice.
