My doctor had me join a YMCA and told me to start swimming. After I rested my back and gave it time to heal I did just that.

Swimming moves all your body parts in an unrestricted way that strengthens all the areas around your back. I occasionally OVER DO IT and get some back pain but never like it was during my worst pain where I couldn't walk or stand up straight.

Try it out. If not, surgery might be the answer but I don't recommend it.
Good luck

Strengthen your stomach muscles. I have heard that they are the "guy wires" of your back. "Guy wires" are apparently the wires that are attached to heavy poles set in the ground that are use to pull up the tent materials for circus tents.
