Anything making the back pain worse or better?

"Well, let me think doc......Nothing makes it better, and I can't really say that anything makes it worse, although it kinda hurt more the week after I had unloaded the truck last month. But I am really more interested how you are gonna fix me, doc, cause I really don't have time for this, you know. I have a big trip coming up in 10 days!"
