My lower back has been KILLING me. I went to a massage thingy majigger and that worked for about a day and I can't afford doing that every day!!! Yes, I am on my period, and I know that it hurts during that. But it hurts even between. I will try all your answers and the one that works gets the 10 points!

A hot bath with 2c. of Epsom salts is very good for relaxing the muscles in the back. Advil liquid capsules work very quickly for pain relief. Take them four times daily.
swimming will exercise your back without causing stress on the joints. Doing this every day can help prevent back pain. I've enclosed a link for back stretches that will help.
A chiropractor would be able to diagnose what is causing your problem and treat it. If you explain you cannot afford regular visits they will probably teach you what you can do for yourself so that you don't have to rely on their therapy.
