Having Back Pain For Long Time. Took Muscle Relaxers And Pain Medicines. Done With Physical Therapy. Suggestion?

Also, at times around my tail-bone hurts and I have a discomfort in my hips. I do not know if this has any relation to my back pain.
There are so many conditions that will cause low back pain.
As you are very young and have been suffering with back pain for the past 7 years without getting any relief with medicines, physiotherapy etc, I feel that you need a detailed evaluation to come to diagnosis.
* MRI scan of the Lumbosacral spine will pick up all the problems in the vertebra, facet joints, spinal cord, nerve roots etc. So this is an essential diagnostic tool to rule out all the spinal causes of low back pain
* Ultrasound examination of whole abdomen is necessary to rule out abdominal causes of low back pain.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon to investigate the spinal causes.
Approach a general surgeon to look at the abdominal causes.
Hope I have addressed your issues. Happy to help for any more clarifications.
Regards
