Back injury?

You need to find a doctor who will do an MRI on you. It will show if you have a bulging disk or some other problem. A vertabrae can put pressure on the disc and make it bulge, putting pressure on the spinal column.(Imagine one of those circular, gel-filled teething rings). Some people refer to this (improperly) as a slipped disc. A good doctor can fix it.

Well if its off and on like that, theres definitely neurological involvement in the area of your vertebrae.
There are way too many possibilities, and I couldnt give you a clear answer without more information.

To me it sounds like a spinal root/nerve compression very close to the vertebrae. They wouldnt be able to detect it on any tests, and it would cause the exact same symptoms youre experiencing.
You should ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist, and hope that he's good.

hello there! I have had back problems for years and decided to start doing Yoga! I used to go to the back doctor and he said i should get into yoga! It has really helped with the pain and it is good for you! You will want to start slow , it took me about a month to get used to the strange new muscles i found! I still have a ache in my back and have found yoga is a great temporary solution. It always come back though and have found a bath in Epsom salt eases the pain! Good Luck to you!

The only way to know for sure is a myelogram. They inject dye into your spine and xray it.
