Go to a back specialist and get checked out. That's what I had to do. My doctor would just give me muscle relaxers or pain med and never looked at my back.
One visit to the back specialist and they found out I have mild scoliosis, Degenerative Disk and Facet Disease, and one leg is shorter than the other. He prescribed PT and helped me more than any other doctor did.

Hi!

Yes, I really understand how bad back pain be! I will save you all the gory details for another time. Let's talk about your issue:

You could get an MRI done, maybe you have had some obvious changes.

It is drastic but if needed get another Doctor!

God Bless!
