See an orthopedist: If you have been in pain for the past 3 years, you should probably visit an orthopedic surgeon for formal exam, and imaging.

Back pain: Have you had a complete workup including MRI? You need some idea of WHAT is causing the pain in order to address it. Gentle range of motion exercises in a pool is often the best initial therapy. Muscles and ligaments shorten/contract if not used and that can make the pain worse.
