Hot shower.
Laying flat on your back on the floor (no pillow underneath).
Stretch exercises.
I hope you feel better.

Hold that hot water! Often times back pain is caused from inflamation and applying heat will cause it to become even more inflamed and painful. Think of when someone gets a black eye and it’s all bruised — the first thing they do is toss a cold piece of meat or ice pack on it to bring down the swelling. Your back is very similar.
As someone who has had a herniated disc for over seven years, I understand pain and the only thing that relieves it is laying on my belly with an ice pack on the hurt area for ten minutes. I try to do it at least once a day when my back starts to hurt.
At one point I was bedridden for a month because of lower back pain (I’m only 23 btw) and I went to a chiropractor who began each session with icing my back. That’s how I learned that it works. She told me never to use heat.

Take a wet washcloth and put it in a ziplock baggie and place in a freezer until frozen.(an hour or so) put that on your back You may need several for the area you have. RICE rest ice, compression ,and elevation.

With my degenerated disc Ice doesnt help. In fact, it hurts it even more. I do find that laying on a heating pad does help. The doctors that I go to say that it is ok. They told me to do either Ice or Heat whichever feels better, So figure out what feels better and use that.
