Feel youre pain, I had 2 herniatted discs and to top it off spinal stenossis of the spine, did everything, physio, chiro,i found a really good chiropractor who I see a couple times a week, also if you are over wieght its important to strenghten youre core, movement is the key to a bad back etc, try to stay active, lots of streching, try yoga, find a strtech that wont hurt you but will help with the pain, try to stay off the meds as much as you can, hot tub, steambath, lots of walking, good shoes, posture, how you sit if you do a lot it.
