I've had back pain for a couple years now, it's a little higher up although we were so confused about transferred pain and stuff, so we still haven't figured out what it is...We got distracted by finding an enormous cyst on my MRI hahaha and kind of forgot about the whole back thing
I find that a firmer mattress helps, I'm currently in france and sleeping on the couch because we're one bed short and it's perfectly lovely, I'm a little sore but soooo much better than my bed is. Have you asked about stronger pain meds? They're definitely not something to take lightly but I was on so much Ibuprofin for so long that it barely affects me any more so I have to at least take aleve and I've had tramadol prescribed more than once.
Hope that helps!
