There could be more than one reason for your back pain. First try to understand what causes your problem for example: do you have all day sitting in desk job, do you lift weight frequently, your sleeping position etc.,
I had this issue couple of months back; i had severe pain which shoots down till my toes from hip. I knew it has something do to with the Nerve. I visited an Ortho and took an MRI and we found out I had a Slip Disc problem. (FYI..I am in a software job and I sit all day, also due to my height and my incorrect seating posture this problem developed). While my doctor suggested an Operation, I was shitty scared and was researching in internet about the problem. One of my friend suggested an alternative treatment "YOGA". I thought why not give it a try, I found an institute where they specialize in treating body pain through yoga, I had to stay there for couple of weeks and do the routine. At the end of the second week, I wasn't feeling any better, but the people in the institute asked me to keep faith and asked me continue the exercise.
I continued for a month and suddenly like a magic my pain got disappeared and never had again till today. So, the point is try to find out what is causing you pain and try to do some research and find the best physio or exercise.
Happy to help you, if you need more information about my problem and how I got rid of it. All the best!!
To be honest, I answered this post because of the headline which was a bit absurdistic or too general while the person really meant a software pain.
I did not expect the number of reactions of you all, first of all thanks for the reactions.
It tells me how deep this problem is for computer programmers.
B.T.W. I do have a back problem and I did found out what was causing it, too much physical stress on my back for much of the past year (having to do with fulfilling a business opportunity for myself while not being able to pay for construction workers and being one myself in the past).
The other problem was my bed, both problems are solved and with a lot of stretching exercises I am getting my back into healthier condition.
Too generic... could it be how you sit? I'm pretty sure my old office chair was really a torture device. Eventually, I got rid of it and bought a variable balans: http://goo.gl/LGFHg1 It's a bit pricey, but I feel much better.
Perhaps someday such problems will be solvable with software. What if there was a simulation that could help you better understand how your body works? Do you think that might help?

My biggest pain is not solvable through software? It is my back that hurts badly...
