Unrelieved back pain: Chronic lower back pain is common. Assuming you doctor perfomed an MRI and was normal, then usually the cause can be related to chronic muscle straining, related to wt and posture, or referred pain from another region of the body, or even inflammation within the joints, facets or sacroilliac joints, or discs themselves/discogenic pain. See a back specialist/pain mgt md.

Conservative care: At your age it would be ideal to avoid getting into chronic treatment with medications, injections, etc. For this reason, aggressive conservative treatment is recommended including physical therapy (including strengthening and stretching), increased overall activity, regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, improved diet. See a physician to discuss treatment.
