It could be an injury in the lower back. Did you fall when you got hit? Or your back brace for impact, etc? If you are in pain, it's worth getting it checked out. Even if your neuro isn't being helpful, explain the pain you are having and ask if you can have some sort of imaging done to rule out an injury to the bones in your lower back. From there, provided there is nothing that shows up broken or tweeked or what not, then physical therapy might be a good idea.
Again, trigger points can cause referred pain. However, if I were you, I would rule out direct injury to the lower back first.
