As a long time lower back sufferer...a few things
1) Rest. Rest. Rest.
2) Hamstring and hip mobility, you need to work on it.
3) Is this muscular or spinal? Chiropractic goes a long way if you have a good one. Andrew Veech is the guy I've seen in the city and he's phenomenal.
4) in the future: more squats at heavier weights means better core strength means better stability means fewer injuries. A lot of people with a history of issues are afraid of squats, but these are exactly the people who most need to progress upward in weight (gradually, of course)

5) One more thing--I skipped the Open in part for the same reason. Of you're not 100% high rep thrusters at a decently heavy weight might not be the best idea. Know thyself, respect your limits and don't do something stupid.
6) ANOTHER another thing: if it's joint related...hydration. It's weird and the guy who originally told me that was a bit of a quack but it does make a difference.
