Brief Answer: Mayo clinic Detailed Answer: Dear I know you are tired and suffering from a long time. The symptoms you are suffering now aren't problematic. They are boring but not risky. I would reccomend to undertake a spinal MRI to see the cause of back pain. If you want the best it securely is Mayo clinic.
