OMM: The causes of low back pain can be difficult to diagnose by scans and x-rays. Since all your tests are normal, you might consider finding a do who treats low back pain with osteopathic manipulation and see what they are able to do for you. Omm has been shown in studies to be effective in treating low back pain, often without less need for medication or surgery.
