Check and see if there is a clinic in your area that specializes in back and neck pain. I got a referral from my GP to one. They took a look at the MRI and then had me come in twice a week for something like 12 weeks for an exercise program. They have specialized workout equipment that isolates the specific muscles involves in back pain. I haven't had back pain since, and it's been several years. This was after 30 years of on/off lower back pain -- sometimes so severe I could walk only bent over. My MRI showed quite a few problems including stenosis, degenerative arthritis, and disc problems.
