Bad Back

Over the past few years and due to an advanced age (been riding and racing MTB's since 1984) my back it starting to ache.

Now I know I ride old skool, flat narrow bars, long flat stem, long top tube bike, etc, etc, etc. But my suffering back says i need to change something, I was thinking of a shorter (90mm) stem with a 6 deg rise in it, just to keep me a little more upright. Are there any more Dinosaurs out there who have suffered from a bad back and have found the solution?
This is why!
