A good mattress, a chiropractor and regular gentle exercise

Kneel down on yours knees, (feet flat against the floor). Fold forward over your body. Touch head to the floor. Repeat every day.

How do you sit??? Try to pay attention to your posture - especially when seated... I've recently noted that my own poor posture while seated has been irritating my back, too.

Do you have access to a pool??? A regular gentle swim will help you to get moving again and support your back from carrying your body weight in the early days. I've also found heat to be beneficial to my pain, too.

@HootyTheNightOwl Thank you. I will try the heat thing.

Aleve and Backaide max are my go to.
Backaide max is weird because it is only Tylenol with a diuretic but for some reason it works, where Tylenol doesn’t touch the pain alone.

Stretch. Maybe dangle your legs. Depends where the pain is. Mine is lower back. I have a chair with high armrests. I push down on the arm rests while sitting and dangle my back like that.

I wish! For me only opioid combos (T-3, Tramadol) are effective but I don't want to become addicted or rely on them. Everyday life is fairly miserable.

Go to a batting cage. Srsly.

If you can, stretch a lot.
Lay on the floor and let your body realign.
Walk.
Drink water.
Sleep well.
I would try to avoid meds unless it is an excruciating pain.
