Icing has helped me, but using a wheat pack instead of ice itself gives more relief, it's not a painful cold and lasts longer.
Panadol to help you sleep.
Don't lift anything if you can help it - and if you must, don't bend down to do so. Pip now climbs on a chair for a cuddle instead of me bending over.
When sitting, sit up straight (like a straight-backed wooden chair) on a 90deg angle. Any lessor angles will put pressure on your pelvis - that's likely why the car journey totally caused you pain.

Good luck.
