Unfortunately,: At this point, your best bet is to see your doctor to determine the cause. It may require more intense physical therapy or more regular massage therapy, or there may be nerve involvement that requires medical intervention. 5 years is a long time to suffer with pain, even off and on, so it is time to find out the cause.
