Hello sir, prolonged sitting hours are a major cause of back related issues nowadays. Yes, it can be a possible cause of your pain too. Relaxing your pain is the foremost thing so please take around every hour as sitting can't be avoided. Improve your sitting posture too by not leaning forward while sitting and keeping your back upright. Secondary go for an x-ray so that a proper diagnosis can be made. You can also take muscle relaxant or an analgesic with an antacid as a palliative treatment to reduce the pain for time being so that you can perform your daily activities at an ease. Review with a back x-ray.
