Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Your wife had chronic backache and now has intensified probably radiating downwards too. This radiation of pain may be due to pressure over nerve root which get irritated.
As X-ray of spine is normal it might be due to disc bulge which causes pressure over nerve root.
So get a MRI done and let me know the findings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any more concerns.
Regards
