I have a similar experience with recovering from back pain. I injured my lower back years ago and herniated two discs. I would have recurring back spasms and subsequently had three epidural steroid injections to relieve pain and was even prescribed orthotics. The things that prevented back pain the past few years for me were: - losing weight (regular exercise and diet) - using a standing desk at work - year-long physical therapy followed by regular Pilates sessions - splurging on a supportive mattress (lots of coils) If I had to choose one of these, I would opt for the standing desk. Takes a couple weeks to get used to, but nowadays I feel weird not using one.
