Back injury : and trauma can take a long time to heal. Not sure about the interpretation of your "scan"..CT or MRI don't really show spasm but if there was nothing else your doctor could easily have made the clinical diagnosis of spasm. Continued avoidance of aggravating activities, heat, massage, stretching, appropriate exercise can all help. Bloating probably unrelated but ? due to reduced activity. Stay well
