My lower back has been absolutely killing me today. Does anyone know of any remedies I could try to address it? I’m trying an ice pack and fixing my sitting posture right now, will be sleeping on my side to relieve pressure on it tonight, but is there anything else I could attempt?

    As others have said it depends on the cause. But something to think about is that if you’re an office worker or sit in a chair for long periods your core/abs are probably weak. This could lead to lower back pain. Strengthening these muscles (core/abs) might help as they support your spine as well.

    Obviously this will take time and won’t immediately reduce pain but could stop it reoccurring.
