For the last week or so I've woken up and had bad lower back pain. It goes away during the day. Do I need to see a chiropractor?

Umm No! Think about it, you spend several hours in bed lying horizontally and the back gets the chance to rest, because as soon as you get out of bed gravity takes over. Therefore watch your weight, if overweight reduce it. Likewise exercise the back muscles. Good Luck

Here is a good exercise to do when you are on bed rest. Lie on your stomach and prop yourself up by your elbows. Slowly and gently push up so that your hips remain on the floor and your stomach and chest are lifted up. Do this as far as you can without overextending yourself. After this, roll onto your back and insert a rolled up towel under your lower back.
If you perform this exercise for three or four days and find no relief it may be because your pain is not centered in your lower back. If you feel the pain more to one side than the other you can modify this exercise. The way you do this is to go ahead and lie down. Then shift your hips away from the side with the pain. Then go ahead with the exercise as described in the above.

Since the pain is more severe when you first get up, it could be that you need to replace your mattress even if you think it's comfortable. It could be too soft and your back isn't getting the support it needs.
I was going to a chiropractor 2 years ago for lower back pain and when I got a new mattress, I didn't need to go anymore.

I have the same problem, try laying on your back, and cross over your left leg to your right side, and vice versa, this helps me. You might also want to try back streches
