One reason why people injure their backs, possibly not why you injured your back, is because of weak abs. The lower back starts to compensate, and then pop....injured.
I screwed up my back pretty badly when I fell down a manhole, and landed with the corner of my back on the side of the manhole. I was pretty much paralysed for 2 weeks! A shower, with the water hitting your lower back acts as a massage to speed bloodflow and recovery to the area. Sleeping on the floor, on my back, helped a load as well, but getting up from the floor took a certain side roll technique! The floor sleep apparently helped realign the spine.
I was warned from too many painkillers, because I needed to guage how much my activity was hurting (and thus damaging) my back. So that really sucked! But I was allowed some strongish painkillers. Can't remember the name of them though, sorry.
