Not sure if this will help Jade, but I've had back problems for some time now. Nasty stuff too: pain like a spike driven right through my lower back, and made it hard to breathe. Or pain like I felt my spine was going to come ripping out of my body.
I just simply grit my teeth for a while. Now I have less problems with my back (except for one spot). It took about 10 years.
Like I said...not really sure if that helps.
