Back pains are ruining our sex life!

Tija
What can I do to help my boyfriend. He's been having back pains and was put on a pain reliever due to it. He doesn't want to have sex because he thinks it will make it worse, but I feel like if he took a nice warm bath, I give him a nice massage and we try positions that don't strain his back and go slowly it won't hurt him: has anyone else's experience this. Is there any advice?
