Imaging the spine to aid in the diagnosis is oftened used for potentially more aggressive options.  Thank you.

Question 8

See below: No one really knows the answer for sure but i will give you my opinion. Acute back pain can often come from overstretched muscles and will usually calm down on its own. Muscles generally heal well. Back pain that becomes more chronic often suggests a problem with the deeper structures like discs, joints, ligaments (these connect bone to bone).

Narcotic Addiction: I would advise you that this very question is a very big red flag for an opiate addiction.  It very well may be that you need to get weaned off of opiates and to treat your back issues differently.  I would consult with a pain or addiction specialist.
