If you've had back pain since august, then you must get further testing. Start with an x-ray of the part of the spine that is painful (lumbar for low back, cervical spine for upper back). Then, for treatment, a trial of physical therapy should be done for further relief. If the x-rays don't give much information, then an MRI would be the next test. But, yes, spine surgery should be a last resort after everything else has been tried.
