Past 2 weeks or so, started getting a stiff lower back (near tail bone area/area where the hips horizontally lines up) when I wake up from sleep and also from sitting at my desk for prolonged hours. When I wake up, right leg cramps up, likely getting poor blood circulation?

My problem with the stiff lower back is whenever it's stiff and I move around to loosen it up, particularly push the lower back/hips forward, it cracks once. I'm typically worried about it over long run if that'll create any issues down the road with the cracking. Never had this back cracking before like this.

To alleviate the lower back stiffness, I've been using a heat pad the past two nights on my lower back before I rest and placed a pillow under my thigh area, which has helped. Also sleeping on the side really helps.

Not sure if I need to have better diet and exercise tons more. I am 30.

Anyone experience something similar?
