Muscle or nerve involvement: Standard x-rays do not show the actual nerves in an area. They show the area where the nerves are, the space where the inter vertebral discs are, and the bone configuration. There are many more structures in the low back that can cause recurrent back pain. You should see someone who has more training in the spine for more detailed answers.
