Message icon wont open and keeps crashing,

Message icon doesn't open, and keeps crashing since 10:30 this morning. Crashed after receiving a normal text. Did not get any weird buggy message. I tried restarting it about 5 times, did the power button + home button restart twice, tried sending a random photo, asked siri to text myself, asked the last person that texted to text me again, and updated to the latest ios and still nothing!!!! I receive all the text and sees it on my notification, but when i click it and it goes to the message app it turns white and crashes. Can anyone help me with this problem???

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Start by turning off Messages in Notifications. Settings>Notifications>Messages and see if you can get in. Next steps would be to restore from back up, and, if that fails, restore as new.

I tried, turning off the messages and restore from back up, still nothing. :/ Is there any other way? Im really trying to avoid restore as new, what if it still doesn't work.

Nothing. My wife sent me a text and I replied. A few minutes later she emailed me and said she couldn't open iMessage. She then upgraded to the latest IOS. Still not working. Tried quitting iMessage, resetting, restarting, nothing!
