How to relieve lower back pain? I have had horrible lower back pain for about 2 days. Maybe from sleeping wrong, I%26#039;m not sure. I can%26#039;t afford to see a doctor at the moment; is there any way to relieve the pain at home? I%26#039;ve tried stretching, sleeping a different way, and just plain rest but nothing is working. Please someone help!

For the one who asked, I don%26#039;t live in a poor country. I%26#039;m originally from Florida. But I moved to Scotland for 6 months to live with my boyfriend. It doesn%26#039;t mean I am poor. Everyone has those moments when money is a little tight. I%26#039;m sure you have had those moments as well.
  • If the pain is a sharp, stinging and stabbing pain it could be kidney stones and in that case drinking plenty of water will help for the pain.

    It could, of course, be due to twisted muscles from sleeping wrong and in that case hopefully it will cure itself very soon. If not then you may have to see a doctor.
  • Heat and massage will be your best bet in relieving pain. If you can go to a physical therapy or athletic training clinic, electric stem will really help. Also ice after doing alot of activities. contract your abs more and do more ab exercises as this will help with future pain. A foam roller which are about 25 dollars work wonders too. athletic trainer
