Hello!

This is difficult to answer without an in person exam and evaluation. This could be because of a disc issue in the low back or other active pathology. Please start with your PCP for a thorough evaluation.

Thanks so much.

Lifestyle factor such as walking and cycling may help prevent lower back pain but Obesity, smoking, physical workload can increase risk for lower back pain. check out http://bit.ly/2OQCRxE for more details‬. I would advise you to follow up with a Rheumatologist for further evaluation as there can be many different causes for your symptoms and it should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Probably either mechanical or inflammatory diseases. Possibly artery disease. You should see a doctor.
Different problems can cause pain with standing or walking depending on whether the pain is in the low back or legs. If in the back alone, the problem can be osteoarthritis in the spinal joints. If the pain is in the legs, spinal stenosis is a more likely culprit
