Besides, I like to do a little research before I go running off to the doctor.
Just go see a PT.

What you need is rest. Change your profile from "experienced bottom" to "gentle loving top"

Not to be a smart arse but my Irish grandfather preached this cure all the time. For everything. Take a bottle of Jamiesions, get some on two fingers, rub it on the sore spot, and drink the rest. Guaranteed, he said, that you will not only not feel your back, you won't care bout it either.

Most physicians will recommend that you DO NOT give a sore lower back bed rest.
Sometimes laying flat on your back is the only relief you can get.
Thanks.

I know, but you need to keep the muscles as loose as possible.
Tight muscles rub on nerves and against each other and this creates more pain.
An overwhelming majority of lower back pain is caused by tight hamstrings and/or hip flexors.

Also...beware of chiropractors. Not saying they don't have their place, but this certainly shouldn't be your first stop with lower back pain.
I strained a muscle in my lower back (right side) lifting some heavy stuff at my house months ago. The next morning I could barely get out of bed. The pain was actually coming from my spine on the right side, so I went to a chiropractor that morning.
I told him what I did the previous day and where it hurt, radiating from my spine on my lower right side. He examined my lower back and said my muscle on my lower right side had a knot.
When I asked him why my spine was hurting and not my muscle, he explained that the muscle tightness on my right side was actually pulling on my spine and irritating the nerves on my spine. Makes perfect sense.
He massaged the knot out of the muscle, then cracked my lower back and the pain instantly was gone. Then all I had to deal with was soreness in the muscle.

Sounds like a "back mouse" or episacroiliac lipoma. Extrusion of subfascial fat through small tear of thoracodorsal fascia.
See PCP. Get this palpable mass injected. If relief, that is diagnostic of this condition. If severe enough, can be surgically removed if it remains painful.

Does the pain stay localized, or does it radiate down the back of your leg?

Happens to me a few times a year. Piriformis stretches plus an anti inflammatory should help fairly quickly. Lots of heating pad helps me too.

Trigger points present themselves as taut bands muscle while back mice are felt as masses or nodules.

Lower left back and left buttock. Swelling/knot is just below the belt line.

what settings do you use for your TENS unit?

thought it was a muscle strain until a little while ago
You would have been better off going then. Just to get steroids or a relaxer.
If you strain your neck or back, go to the doctor. No matter what.

I've got ice on it now. Might try heat later.

Too strong?

I'm going get MRI Friday. Been battling pain in my right arse that shoots down my leg. My left thumb is now numb. Something has to be pinching my sciatic nerve. Just hope it's not a disc issue.

Sounds like it could be a trigger point. I not only have these in my lower back, but I've palpates them in many patients.
I give trigger point injections with a homeopathic anti-inflammatory and lidocaine (numbing agent). This can give amazing results.

I have Piriformis Syndrome too. As a distance runner, it's something I will always deal with. Stretching and strengthening exercises help a lot. I don't think it is the culprit in this guy's case, because he isn't experiencing any sciatica.
