Having just spent a few days crippled with back pain you have my sympathies. As already said shot is better than hard stuff and a harness is better still as it rests in a different place. Can you get any of that weight onto the tank etc rather than your belt.
Steve is also correct excercide is vital, both pre/post dive and during. It may be worth your while visiting a physio to get some excercises specific to your needs. It will be cheaper than needing several visits cos you've done your back in.
