Advice on how to address lower back pain? (beehaw.org)

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?

Thank you for saying this! My tail bone doesn't bend with the rest of my spine and I wanted to say what helps me, but stopped myself. What helps me (primarily things that force a curve in my lower back), is probably going to make a lot of back issues worse. Gotta figure out the cause before coming up with a solution.
