Sleep on your back, with a pillow under the upper part of your legs and/or your knees. This puts your body in a natural position that takes the stress off your lower back. Or as this guy said, "doing that straightens out the natural curve of the lumbar spine." http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/998795 Good luck!!

Careful stretches in the morning. Bend over and stretch the hamstrings. If you can allow those to stretch out over time, your lower back will get better. Avoid lifting heavy objects, use proper body mechanics, push don't pull objects, and wear good supportive shoes. Good luck. The exercises helped me.

If it is inflamed, believe it or not, an ice pack. It's terrible at first. You need to put some fine material, preferably cotton, between it and your skin, so it doesn't burn you. Then try, I mean TRY, to keep it on the inflammation as long as possible. It will go numb. No longer than 15 min at first. Twice, three times a day is optimum. The type of push-up, too, that is good, is the "woman's push-up". Lie on your stomach and push up with your arms bending your legs so your toes are pointing at the ceiling. Gently and take it slowly. I think I started with five then moved up to 10, 15, then 39, etc. You can decide whether to do it, before the ice or after, but I have found before better, because you can feel where the damage is. It's great for arthritis. Anyway, that's what I have found to be VERY effective, and I was scared to do it,now, I love it because it works so well.
