Seconding this. A doctor showed me one stretch for the backs of my upper legs that got rid of my back pain. Follow the other advice here and see a doctor if it’s bad, but leg stretches are free and easy so it’s worth a try.
Stand on one leg and put your other leg up straight on a surface like a chair or bed so your legs are pointing at 6 and 3 on a clock. Keep your raised leg straight so your toes are pointing at the ceiling (not bent at the knee or twisted). Lean into it as much as you can while keeping both legs totally straight.
It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch, but if it’s hard to do, that may be your problem muscle group that’s locked up and causing the pain.
