Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

I did not understand very well if the symptoms were yours or of your twin sister.

The symptoms seem to be related to degenerative disc disease.

I see that you have already tried different methods to treat the pain.

I recommend to take prescription painkillers such as Hydrocodone.

I also recommend to use a topical painkiller such as Capsain cream.

I recommend to continue physical therapy.

If the symptoms continue I suggest to consult an orthopedist for an alternative treatment such as surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
