Two things Andrew. One is to provide us much more information and to do so in a clear na dconcise way. It is difficult enough to provide such assistance over the Internet but it is, my friend, tougher when generalities are the rule rather than the exception.
consider the following as a short but incomplete list.
how old are you, what is your fitness background, in what ways are you earning a living, are you taking any medications, what have you tried thus far, where is your pain, what sort of pain is it, what flares it and what makes it better, same pain standing as sitting, sitting as lying down???
The second thing is to shift your laguage. When we consistently reaffirm that something is killing us then it begins to do so. I am certain there is a great deal of pain involved here. But understand this is a dialogue between you and your lower back and you have to tidy that relationship up first. Make nice please.
All what inner athlete wrote is right.
Since I had chronic pain I expierenced Yoga Nidra in the form of Swami Satyananda Saraswati to be very helpfull.
It`s including a sankalpa (affirmation) which can direct the mind into a happy and postive attitude.
After a while of practise my pain has disappeared completely.
Greetings All the best
Lars
Can you recommend a good affirmation?

There are special trained doctors for chronic pain (others mostly don’t know very much about it. In the last view years the knowledge and treatment has developed a lot).
I suggest you to find such a specialist first. The earlier the better. The body has a kind of pain memory. And if you have pain for a longer time you might not be able to get rid of it totally anymore.
Search the internet for specialists, search in university hospitals. And don’t give up if it takes a while to find someone suitible.
Of course yoga-techniques like yoga nidra (Amazon.com: Experience Yoga Nidra: Guided deep relaxation: Books: Swami Janakananda Saraswati) could also be a help, but I think its definitly necessary you find a chronic pain specialist.
There is something I’d like to add to Karin’s input.
The principles are accurate about the cycle of pain being held.
I would however assume that since this is a Yoga Board rather than a chronic pain board that the user is here for a yoga perspective. it is not necessarily so but it is what I envision visitors coming here to want.
In that vein, alopathic or “western” medicine does serve a purpose; a very good purpose. However it is also the swiss cheese of practices and filled with many holes. You’re likely to walk away with a prescription for meds which do not support a yoga path. Again, it does have a role and it is fine if that is the student’s mindful choice, but it is a hinderance to yoga not a complement.
Often a diagnosis is critical before sound yoga work can proceed. However, some can live with their illness but not their diagnosis so care in this direction should be exercised.
High Xela Here a couple of affirmations: I am enjoying my life. I love my body and myself. Im feeling better allthe time. Im allways at the rigth place doing the rigth thing. I deserve to fell good and happy. I`m the Love that realises it self. Grettings Lars
