You poor thing. My mom has had terrible back issues and has had two surgeries fusing cervical vertebrae together and it has helped but she's starting back up again. It truly is awful. If it gets truly awful for you, where you can't work or live without meds or whatever, it may be time to see a neurosurgeon to talk about what's going on and options. Surgery could help, but you only want to go there as the last resort, because once you have back surgery (same with knees or any joint really) then it will always be very problematic but if it ever gets bad enough, the trade off can be worth it.
I'm sure you've probably already looked into all this, but there are other physical therapies out there for different types of back pain. I'm sure pilates helps a great deal, but there may be some specific exercises (even some requiring weird contraptions) that can be helpful as well. For a while, my mom was using this thing that she hooked onto her door and it helped a little but not enough and it was around that point that she ended up getting her first surgery done which provided a lot of relief for several years.
Getting old sucks. Being a woman and getting old really sucks, well, with regards to bones and hormones that is. Men get their own, uh, unique problems with age.
