Lower back ache of any kind is always a sign of trouble ahead. You would be better off not ignoring it. The first thing you must do is look around you and figure out if you have made any changes in your general lifestyle which could have led to this problem.
A new pair of heeled shoes, new seating arrangement, a new car, a new mattress - basically, anything could be leading to a pain that is intermittent. If you have made a new addition, remove it and revert to whatever the earlier alternative was. See if this makes a difference.
If not, then check more to figure out if you have had a recent injury or a sudden jerk of any kind that has led to this kind of pain. Before you begin trying anything at home, it is imperative you visit a doctor for a proper medical examination. A medical examination will reveal if you have the beginnings of any serious back-related disorder.
Meanwhile, you can follow some simple and basic methods for relief. The first thing is to rest as much as you can. Try to isolate the postures which are giving you the most grief and avoid them as much as you can. Generally, lying down will always help with most kinds of back aches. You can also try to get a gentle massage on the painful area with warm mustard oil. This will help to heal the ache as well as whatever problem is causing it. But make sure the massage is gentle and not too vigorous, as this could further damage your back. You can also try soaking in a hot tub to which you have added a few drops of eucalyptus oil and a fist full of common salt. This will also provide you with relief from the pain.
