See ORS: Not sure where your old fx. Is located( usually thoracolumar)but not entirely uncommon to be picked up on a radiograph years later.Possibly had an accident in the past and forgot about it or attributed it to 'strain' or other. At any rate, see an ors now who specializes in spinal disorders.Flex/ext. Xrays, MRI and quality physical exam needed. Possible old fx.Not cause of pain now. Gl!
