OMG Miso, that's horrible I am so sorry. Really, I mean it. I have had back problems (not like yours) but when it happens I just want to die. Anyone who actually touches me during those times risks death.

Are you set up at home properly? I went thru a phase where I was using my laptop sitting on my couch instead of my desk & I figured out that I was semi-reclining, which was screwing w/my back.

Are you exercising? It helps. Also, I've heard pilates can help, esp if there are issues w/your posture?

Google for back pain relief & discuss w/your doc. Do you know why you are having the pain (i.e. have they done tests on you)?

Get better soon. Tylenol 3s help to sleep.
