Need more history: More history and exam are needed, including xray results. This question is best answered by your regular DR who has your full medical history and the advantage of the tests that have been done already.

Maybe: People with scoliosis have more acute and chronic back pain than people without scoliosis. It was likely present when you were younger but never picked up. If there are fevers weight loss or night pain see an orthopedist.
