    Sorry you are going through all this. If the patient has persistent back pain that is not relieved by standard methods (physiotherapy, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, weight loss, etc..), Then they should see a doctor and consider getting an MRI. Often the pain in one area of ​​the spine is usually accompanied by pain in other areas of the spine and the patient compensates. Consider physiotherapy and change your mattress, but if that does not relieve you see your doctor and consider an imaging study.
