It does sound harsh- to say 'must exercise more' - and yet, research has shown that it is the key to pain relief in many cases, including back pain.
So as Bluebell says, find a pool where you can do aquafit once then twice a week- and start swimming. Perhaps go to one which is not your local one (this is what I do) - if you are very self conscious. You can also put some thin 3/4 leggings (Decathlon do some very thin ones) to wear with swimsuit.
Bonne chance- exercising does relieve pain, and get the adrenalin going to help with depression and helplesness. Hugs- and bonne chance.
