Back pain?

[Lindsey]

Does anyone here ever get back pain or know how to deal with it? Since March my lower back has hurt pretty bad, on and off. I know how it started and it's a silly story, but it caused a lot of pain. Right after it hurt to move my back at all for about a week, and then it slowly subsided. I thought it was done but every once in awhile I get a cold, like right now, and I cough or sneeze while I'm standing straight up and as my body moves, pain just shoots through that part of my back.
Most times it's just really uncomfortable, like it feels like it needs to be cracked. I do yoga but nothing makes it feel better because it's so far down. Basically, it's right between my hips bones.
I think I need a chiropractor, but I'm still a student and so I'll have to wait until next year when I have a job and health benefits. Does anyone know what I could do now to ease the pain at all?
