I know what you mean by back problems. I have scoliosis
that for most is not much more than a minor annoyance - oh,
how I wish I was one of those people. Personally, yoga helps me now loads. However, years ago during a bout that was so bad I was under heavy painkillers (I was asleep for about 20 odd hours a day) and going to physical therapy during the few hours I was awake. (NOTHING is worse than having a PREGNANT physical therapist - all that extra weight!!!) ;-). You might look into massage therapy (although most insurance companies don't cover that). It's usually not that expensive and often, massage therapists give regulars a bit of a discount. It made the world of difference for me. I was up and walking for the first time (relatively pain free) in over a month.
Best of luck as ever. (I've had plantar fasceitis - sp?? - as well in both feet - no fun at all!).
Take care and keep smiling.

Sometime I wish I could wear shoes! We're opposites! Especially when it rains or snows. All winter I wear big fuzzy socks in my Burkie's - I get a lot of odd looks. Everyone just assumes I'm an outdoor recreation student from the university!! (They wear wool socks and sandals year round too!) I miss being active most though, sitting on my duff all of the time sucks! We've gotta find a solution!! Feet transplants? My DF needs one too! He was born with club feet, both feet and his right foot is really bad. Without our feet, it's hard to do anything.
I never realized how much you take your feet for granted until you can't use them!

I can't imagine being in pain every day.  Just hang in there and keep hoping and praying! I hope this shock treatment stuff comes through for you!
