Glad it helped! I saw that pic and ... man I couldn't think of anything else. :)
I stopped taking Aleve because it started making my feet blow up like balloons, which is annoying because it was the only thing that could really do anything for my back (and I'd just bought a brand new big bottle! arg!). OTOH, getting a real mattress instead of a futon has made my back much better, so it's not hurting constantly - it now only hurts if I've been standing up for too long or if I sleep on my back. Well, and for the first 10-15 minutes of the day. At any rate, that's muuuuuuch better than it's been for most of the past year.
