Bless your heart! You are so young to have had so much trouble with your back. I'm glad that you found a doctor that could help you.
I have seen many doctors and I think this one is one of the best (see my post to Tommy). When I saw him earlier this week, he did mention acupuncture as a possible solution, and my back doctor has also mentioned that. I am going to talk to him more about that on Tuesday.
In the past, I would've scoffed at something unconventional like that, but I'm ready to try anything to relieve the pain.
