Does anyone have tips to prevent back pain?

heyyy, so recently i have been suffering from a lot of back pain. I'm not gonna lie, i'm not a very active person, but it have never been that bad as is now (especially in the lower part of my back). I'm really worried because when i try to streech it kind of hurts a lot.

I also noticed that when i wake up in the morning my muscles are very stiff and when i move my bones crack like crazy 😭. Does anyone knows how to prevent it? (and which exercises can help me)

I don't do exercises bc I'm lazy lol, but I do use like anti-inflammatory creams a lot. Maybe it can help you. Orrr maybe a heating pad? I don't use them bc I don't have one but I've read it helps.

Ohhhh thank you for the tip, I think I have some anti-inflammatory creams somewhere, I will definitely try it  (I'm also very curious of the heating pad ) 

I once had an incident where I tweaked a muscle in my neck so bad in my sleep I couldn't turn my head for two days  ;-;  Since then, I've sworn to do neck stretches before bed--I take it easy on myself: i have one or two stretches and I only hold them for 10-15 seconds, or however long I have the patience for, but they REALLY help. 

My best advice would be find one or two back stretches and start doing them before bed. Any amount of time stretched is better than no time! also, if doing the stretch hurts, ease up on the movement, it means you've stretched too far. Your first few times stretching might be tough if you've never done it before, but after a couple of nights of stretching, it should help ease the tension in the back muscles! when you're stretching, MOVE SLOW, if you move really fast going into or out of the stretch you can really hurt yourself (my own experience. . . . don't move your head too fast after stretching your neck. . . . it hurts SO bad)

Hope this helps ^-^

Thank you! That's also really helpful, I will definitely try it too
