Do you drive often? Reason being I experienced a similar, kind of dull pain in my lower back (also when sitting) a few years ago and couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. I noticed it being worse at certain times of the day, and made the connection that it was either after sitting in traffic for long periods (to/from/or for work) or when I had just gotten out of the car. Had to screw with the seat settings in my car - the angle of the back was too steep. I noticed that the same thing happens in my truck if someone ****s with my seat settings.
Noticed that on a long trip in a rental Honda a few different times. Figured out I had to have something other than a Honda for long trips, OR I could put a pillow low down on the seat and that cured it even in the Honda. Never have lower back pain any other times except long trips in a Honda.
Hayata's pic is the answer, if you rule out structural deficiencies.

You can get temporary relief by stretching your lower back muscles. Sit on a straight back chair or a step. Keep your feet flat on the ground and gently lean over with your arms fully extended. Do not bounce or wiggle, just let the weight of your upper torso and extended arms pull on the muscles. Hold this pose for 30-40 seconds and sit back up straight. Repeat several times to help stretch and relax the muscles. Hope you feel better soon.
Didn't read all 6 pages so don't know if this has been mentioned but-deep tissue massage might be an avenue to look at. I've had back trouble since high school and agravate it often because I powerlift (I'm 46 now so I've had alot of practice with back pain, causes and cures 
). Stretching is regular but occasionally I would get that constant pain or sudden muscle spasm pains. 9/10 times I'd go to chiro and it would be fine in a day or two. Then a few years back I was getting the dull constant pain like you describe and actually started getting slight tingling going down one leg like it was trying to fall asleep. Went to chiro, no relief. Stretching, back off on weights, no relief. Finally bought a "block" of 4 or 5 deep tissue massage sessions and worked it right out. Ever since if I have pain the the chiro can't fix or if I'd just rather not go to chiro I get the massage when the back tightness/pain seems constant and stretching and upping the water intake won't work it out.
