About your injuries, I've read that you injured your lower back. Have you tried minor back exercises to strengthen your back muscles, to hold your discs in place better. I once tore a tendon in my shoulder and had to do a lot of shoulder excercises to strengthen my shoulder to make up for the tear.
The lower back goes from time to time but my recovery rate is good and I do a lot of preventative exercises for it: you can find links to Dr Stuart McGill's earlier in the thread. I'm getting rehab for an upper back/neck problem (a bunch of torn muscles), and yes I do a whole lot of stuff for that: exercises from the physio, weights (sanctioned by the physio), Thomas Kurz's general flexibility exercises and yoga.
