You didn't mention this, but have you gotten overweight?
I had very significant back pain until I lost a lot of weight and started getting in shape. Some of the problems were caused from 10+ years of playing football and those won't ever go away. I did notice as I got in better shape AND was following a workout program that the frequency, duration, and severity of the pain all went way down.
I hadn't even thought about it until today when I read your post, but I haven't had any back pain since I went on a hiking trip a month ago. I used to have it multiple hours everyday.
I've also heard that standing work stations are good for people whose jobs normally require them to stay seated for long periods of time, though I have no personal experience.
