Cannot cure: You cannot really cure lower back pain; you could manage the discomfort and reduce muscle tension and then exercise to protect the rein jury of muscle.

A good one: Generally it is not the mattress that will solve your back issues unless it only is occurring after you sleep on yours. Then, just a relatively firm one will do and regularly rotate it to keep it longer as they need to be replaced by 7-10 years or sooner if obese. Otherwise it is lifestyle that plays a role: regular exercise, weight control and avoiding smoking with good nutrition & sleep habits.

Back pain: Not sure exactly. But, when you are feeling unwell it is not unusual to get myalgias (muscle discomfort) and arthralgia (joint pain) as your body is infected or infested.

Stiffness: Seems like you may have some stiffness and muscle spasms from the position you were sleeping in. Stretching and strengthening of the lower back will help. Also assess the quality of your mattress.
