Did they prescribe physical therapy? The back is exceptionally well supplied with blood. Often with PT, a back injury will heal rapidly. Much faster than a knee or shoulder injury.
The best way to avoid back pain are lots of pull-ups, rows, core strengthening, and dead lifts (with perfect form of course). Strengthen the musculature of the back, and the pain goes away. My back was broken in an accident last August, so I am speaking from experience.
I went thru a core strengthening PT program for over SIX months; the average time frame for the program is 2. 5 to 3 months.
The FACT REMAINS; I had & will ALWAYS have the herniated L4/L5 disc that presses on the nerve root, which cause the symptoms & the associated pain.
The medical community is great at going after symptoms BUT they often refuse to attack the actual 'root cause' of an ailment.
It is no wonder 'medicine' in our society is so screwed up
