Hello, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It is due to lumbar spondylosis and spinal stenosis. It is unlikely to be due to wreck but wreck may have aggravated it.
Back exercises, Diacerine, glucosamine sulfate neurotropic such as methycobalamin and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief.
Avoid long continuous standing.
Sit in a straight posture.
Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
