You should get out and see a physical therapist. Have some traction, heat and perphaps low level laser therapy. If this does not help you may need back microsurgery or endoscopic surgery to get pressure off your nerves. This may help you return to more mobile and pain free status. You could then focus on loosing weight and doing more spine exercises eg aquatherapy (www.aquaphysio.com)
