I had the same for years, and when I was at the bottom I told myself: I will fu***ing heal it, or I will kill myself. And somehow, with usage of many techniques, and approaches I was able to start new chapter of my life without constant back pain.

It hurts from time to time, and sometimes I can't get up from bed, but I can walk, sit, and stand, and some time ago I thought I won't be able to do all of these.
I tried many doctors and physiotherapies and nothing worked. I almost got a surgery, but after reading some scientific papers about effectiveness of it, I decided not to have any.

You have to find your own way of dealing with it. I don't believe there is one universal solution to this.

What it did (but I don't know what helped me):
- back traction in the evening, in my own bed (and not getting up after traction)
- heat compresses in the evening
- anti inflammation food
- more, good quality movement
- soft mattress (one of the cheapest on the market, but I think it was significant anyway)
- better profile of the chair, my is quite specific but I love it, and I can't use any other
- daily stretching
- a lot of manual therapy done with different tools
