Hi,

Welcome to Health care Magic.

Persistent painful muscle spasm due to broken bones on back L4,5,6 before 2 years ago indicates some problem with the big nerve at the level of nerve origin from the vertebral region.

Because of which you are not filling in the center of your back.

Nerve might have compressed or being irritated there.It could be some disc problem or osteoarthritic problem.

Orthopaedic surgeon consultation is required for the detailed diagnosis and management.

Requirement of investigations like X-Rays/MRI are necessary to reach the diagnosis.

Hope this answers your query.

Thanks and regards,
I find this answer helpful
