What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness In The Back?

My back has been hurting for as long as I can remember but I don t know what I can do about it or if I can do anything about it. At times it will start tingling and then go numb and then start tingling again as if it were asleep. Sometimes, (but not always) this is brought on by a charley horse on my upper back. I get spasms quite frequently too. For a couple of days now I have been getting sharp pain from the lower middle of my back and shoots all the way to my foot. What if anything can I do to relieve my back. Tried physical therapy for bout 2 months several different times, but it didn t help
