Oh that sucks. I have a bad back too. It's not fun one bit. It's one reason I usually keep a cane near. Never know when you're gonna need it.
Yeah, what's worse is that I'm pretty young, (25 years) so the doctors are always perplexed at my situation and how I shouldn't be in so much pain. Then they tell me they can't do any surgery or anything because I am to young for it. I've been sent to pain management where I've been getting steroid shots in my spine, but they only last for a few weeks then The pain comes back even worse. I'm pretty much bed ridden everyday. It's put a lot of depression on me, (I suffer from severe depression as it is) so that's fun. I go back to college in the fall and I have no idea if I can be able to walk across campus each day.
