My lower back has been absolutely killing me today. Does anyone know of any remedies I could try to address it? I’m trying an ice pack and fixing my sitting posture right now, will be sleeping on my side to relieve pressure on it tonight, but is there anything else I could attempt?

In this position it helps to additionally put a pillow between your knees to keep your legs aligned (and thus prevent lower back from being tweaked toward your sides).

I like body or king size pillows for this
