I used to feel this way. I'm really sorry that you're feeling bad. What I discovered is that I had fibromyalgia (translated into feeling terrible all over all the time) and lupus (an auto-immune disease). I tried literally everything that one might to cure these ailments and was taking an ungodly amount of pain medication just to function. After finally being diagnosed with lupus, I was put on Plaquenil, an anti-malarial drug: doctors don't know why it works but it seems to help some people and I was one of the lucky ones. Now I take no pain medications, except when I get a headache and feel pretty darn good most of the time.
Go see a doctor. If your doctor doesn't help you, find another doctor. Keep looking 'til you find one who will listen and help you. It took me 10 years. I hope it's not so long for you.

Find a good chiropractor and make an appointment. If it is severe your back is going to have a hard time to fix itself. If something is out of place you need to get it put back into place. If you haven't been to a chiropractor before, no worries...do not be afraid. Ask your frineds/family/co-workers/or at your local health store what chirorpractor they prefer in your local area and why. You want someone that other people trust and have had success with. Chiropractors are not bone crushers/crackers, they simply manipulate the spine, joints, and muscles. Don't fear that they will break you. They know what they are doing and if you want them to work very gently they can and will. A first visit will probably run $50-$60 and follow-up visits $35-$40. A lot of insurance companies cover the full cost or partial cost of chiropractic visits. This is cheap compared to surgery and drugs that allopathic medicine provides. If you are looking for a natural pain reliever, some people have found that Bromelain (enzyme from pineapple) helps...it must be taken between meals for that purpose. Also found useful by some is MSM (methyl-sulphur methane). There are creams which you can purchase from your local health store as well. A warm bath in natural bath salts with lavender (helps to relax the muscles) + ice (helps to reduce inflamation) + chiropractic visits helped me when I severely hurt my back last spring.

Did you have an accident? tried having your partner give you a massage with hot/warm oils or take a hot bath that usually helps me, if not take some Tylenol or Motrin depending on what you usually take or consult your doctor if you never taken any pain killers , then it is best to see you doctor. but a massage never hurt anyone right!
