Exactly this. Mine got so bad about 7 years ago now that one day I realized I could not walk from my bed to the bathroom one morning. I ended up in the hospital where they shot me full of enough stuff that I could make it to the chiropractor who wanted to try this new machine he had on me. It worked so well I bought an inversion table as a similar method I could use at home.

Prior to that experience I'd found that Feldenkrais worked better than massage for me. Almost might be something to look into.

Good luck! Back pain sucks!
