I have evaluated many people with spinal conditions. I can't tell you how important a good examination is needed. There are several reasons for back pain, some are related to problems in organs. Spinal pain can come from bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, discs and often is due to inflammation and dysfunction of several of these. You should see a doctor in person. I wonder if you have a fracture.
