Do you suffer from back pain?

I am a person who has suffered from back pain for almost 9 years of my life and have been miserable for most of the time with that pain, if you are like me you probably have been stuck on the ground and not able to get up. That is a terrible feeling and there is nothing worse than being that helpless to where you have to get someone to help you especially when your 39, I know you have been there if you have suffered like I have. I had a surgery in 2000 and that lasted for 7 years without much pain and I was happy with that surgery for awhile and then the unthinkable happened I actually sat in a chair and reinjured my disc of all things to happen and just by sitting in a chair. Its very easy to hurt your back, it doesn't take much to do it a twist, a bend, or a sudden movement and then bingo, the pain shoots down your leg or you have a bad muscle spasm and then the numbness, I would rather have that numbness than the sciatic pain, those of you out there who have experienced this pain know exactly what I am talking about. What do you do to help with your pain? How do you cope? By the way any singers out there
