Hello,

I have studied your case.

With normal investigation reason of indentation can be due to fibrosis.

For these symptoms methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Another possibility of fibromyalgia.
You can take amitryptiline and duloxetin consulting you’re treating doctor.

Take care
