Too firm mattress

Like a lot of people, I thought a really firm mattress would help my lower back problem of many years.  WRONG!!!  I have severe osteoarthritis and bouts of sciatica.

The mattress is almost  brand new, but I can't take the pain in my lower back and hips much longer.  I'm lucky if I get 4 to 5 hours sleep a night and quite frankly, I'm exhausted.

Would it be less expensive to keep the foundation and just add a good quality medium firm mattress or ???  Should I look into foam? 

Lower back pain is so common that I'm hoping a lot of you out there have had experience with the wrong mattress and can help me find the right one.
