You could have slept on your back wrong (you said that it just started this morning, but if it did start earlier you could have something wrong with your back like a pinched nerve) You can try ibuprofen, ice, and after 72 hours alternate ice and heat. If it doesn't get any better within a week I would go see your doctor. Good luck!

a massage would benefit you immensely. If it's possible for you to get someone to massage you especially a professional massage therapist you would get enormous relief quickly.
Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day.
500mg of calcium and magnesium can help with diminishing the pain.
