Sitting can be hard on your back. It is not what we are designed to do for long periods of time. Your joints and muscles stay healthy by moving. Sitting is less moving, obviously, and also puts different stress loads on your spine. It is quite common to develop an overuse injury like this. No big event caused it, just a little bit of load over time adding up. A repetitive strain injury, or RSI, is a common mechanism of injury that occurs with small loads over time instead of one big injury event. With the limited amount of info and no exam, this is a reasonable option as to where the problem came from.
