I refuse to believe there is nothing they can do to help alleviate that pain, at least to a point it's easier to handle. Keep pestering your docs about it. Also, I like xuplate's suggestion for stretching exercises. Listening to music might help them be less boring (my problem with mere exercise). Getting fitted for a back brace might be a good idea as well.
Sounds like you got a good lawyer! Happy for you on that!
Of course we're staying with you! We're all family!
