5. Sounds so tough.

I got a "Cordless heating pad for back pain relief" from Amazon. It wraps around and fastens with Velcro, which provides some support. It also vibrates, which isn't much help. I also use a cane, either correctly at my side, or incorrectly by moving it along in front of me, like a one-legged walker, when I need additional support. My pain is very minor compared to what you are experiencing, so I don't know if these small suggestions can help. I hope you get some relief soon.
