you could try sleeping on the floor but i dont know it that would help. but if you can get a doctors appointment before wed and see what they say

You should go see a doc.. My bestfriend has those too, and she is a runner... I think relax is the best way

As someone who suffers from back discs pressing on a nerve you should see a doctor to get relief. Heat on the spot could also help.

Try bending your knees when you sleep (side or back). I've raced bikes with a bad back, so it's possible, and it's been sore off and on since high school. But if the thing really tweaks or you have sharp, shooting pains -particularly when you exert yourself - you should probably rest it until it feels better.

PS You can also stretch your back by partway squatting and then grabbing a doorjam or something with a handle. You then lean back and gently twist your spine and your hips to stretch up and down. Then switch sides and repeat.

I have back pains all the time. I see a chiropractor every month and it helps. But fixing it by Wed would be a problem. I'd try Larry's stretching suggestion. That really helps too. Hope it gets better
