Lower back pain when getting up from sitting can be linked to how you sit or conditions like piriformis syndrome, which affects muscles near the hip.
When you sit for a long time, your lower back can start to hurt. This is because sitting puts pressure on your back muscles and spine. If your posture is not good, this can make the pain worse.
To help your back feel better, try to sit up straight and take breaks to move around. Stretching the muscles in your back and hips can also help reduce pain. If the pain continues, it might be a good idea to talk to a doctor.
