How does back pain affect you in life

I'm 33 and have had back pain more than half my life. It is always low back pain. It gets severe about twice a year--bad enough that I'm on the couch for a week and every movement is excrutiating. I go to a chiropractor once a month or so---more when it's bad. It's been really good lately, but I'm always wondering when it's going to go out again. The pain is worse than childbirth! Not sure what you can tell me that I haven't already been told. But I'm open to anything!
