My back sucks, but I think it's as good as it's going to get. I'm not a morning person at all, so I put my alarm clock all the way across the room. That way, I have to actually get out of bed to get it. Last week, the alarm goes off. I jump up, move across the room, hit snooze and jump back in bed. Nine minutes later, the alarm goes off again. I'm face down, completely unable to move. Can't even roll over. Back is screwed and every time I try to move I go into spasm. Nine minutes earlier I was perfect. One day later, it was like nothing ever happened. Go figure.

From a guy in healthcare living with a once broken and surgically corrected back, a few suggestions:
1) If you don't have the book Healing Back pain by Robin Mc Kenzie buy it and use it as a corrective bible.
2) Lidoderm patches, lidocaine flexible delivery patches for when you are in pain and still have to keep working.
3) Acupuncture works great for me, it may or may not work for you but it's certainly worth a 100 dollar gamble.
4) ask your physician to slide you some Celebrex trial packs, used as a last resort the stuff erases ten years off your body clock, I call it crackubrex.
Good luck with the back, spinal pain is a challenge but it's not insurmountable.
