I hear you Andy. I hurt my back this year too doing basically nothing. Bending over the wrong way to pick something up. I couldn't stand up straight for over a week. It had happened once before, but not that bad. Now I am much more careful when doing anything where I have to bend over. I try to make sure I keep the curve in my lumbar spine and bend from the legs. It turns out as we get older we have to get wiser or we won't last long. Cutting out sugar, drinking less alcohol and getting more exercise is good medicine for everyone. I wish you the best on the life changes. It is amazing how making some changes like this can have positive effects on the other aspects of our lives too.
