Lower back spasms/cramping....

4 days ago, my lower back began to ache - it felt like a small pulled muscle. Then yesterday it escalated into spasms and cramping that are painful. I read the library and found all kinds of possibilities, but no one mentioned spasms, it was all just various degrees of pain. Mine is right at my waistline just to the right of center and doesn't move or radiate anywhere else. It's a constant ache until I change positions, then a cramp that HURTS! I plan to call my PCP in the morning, but would really appreciate some input. Anyone else experience this?
