Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Physical therapy is an alternative of injury treatment.
In these cases anti inflammatory non steroidal are recommended.
But to determine the treatment you need a diagnosis.
To do that these tests are necessary:
1. Back Ct-scan.
2. Complete blood count.
3. Fibrinogen test.
4. Urine test.
Contact your rheumatologist.
All the best.
