What they said! Pain is relative, and while empathy is important, it is also important to recognize that your pain is painful to you. These things are not a contest! And I hope your back feels better soon, if it does not already.
Also, as a practical aside, some people are very private about their sources of pain, so it is a good idea to be careful about listing said sources in a semi-public forum. :)
