yes, stretching is an excellent suggestion. Also, it sounds like you've good underdeveloped lower back muscles...working on stregthening that could really cure your problem along with the stretches.
Try the superman, or flopping fish--lay on your stomach arms straight out, and feet pointed back likeyour superman flying straight ahead. Put your chin directly on teh mat or floor. then make yourself a "u" shape with emphasis on your lower back. Try 3 sets of 10--and hold the "u" for 5 seconds. Then gradually move up to hodling the "u" for 10 seconds.
This will really help you.
