I am so sorry to hear that you have back pain.....I have had 3 back surgeries with Rods inserted and the pain is sometimes more then I can handle....The doctors are not prescribing pain pills like they used to, it seems to be up to the patient to find some relief....
Have you tried a chiropractor or massager or even meditation.
The important thing to remember is that pain will not kill you....But it does affect the mind in the form of depression and perhaps a doctor can get you tested and put on antidepressants if you qualify....
Good luck to you and I hope you find some healing...
