Had you changed your diet at all during your journey to problem solve the pain?

Not GP but personally I have found limiting caffeine consumption to help a lot with back pain. More than one cup of coffee (12g of beans) seems to result in exacerbation of any minor back pain I may have on that day. I also now take a day or two off from drinking any coffee after a few days of consumption. With this change, more sleep and some light stretching on some days I no longer have back pain. Oh, I also moved to a firm mattress.
I drastically reduced the amount fat I eat, but I did that to accommodate my partner's new diet, not entirely voluntarily. :)
