Female age 38 schoolteacher
5 yrs ago pulled muscle in midback rh side.
never recovered. Now have severe muscle spasm & chronic pain.
Have seen Family Physician, PT, Pain Specialist, Orthopedic Specialist....have had x-rays, mri....have tried TENS, PT (massage & exercise), RF treatment...
Currently taking Fentanly pain patches & anti-inflamatories.
The pain is getting worse....not better. Where can I go for help? I am worried that I may not be able to work much longer with this pain.

 Hi Alaskan,
Back pain can be extremely difficult to evaluate and relieve. Occasionally, repeat imaging after a period of time may show something new that explains the pain. Unfortunately, I don't have any great advice for you. Continue to follow up with your doctor. If you have not tried a muscle relaxant this may be something to try.
You may also want to consider seeing a spinal orthopedic specialist.
Best wishes.
