Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Spasm could be due to multiple reasons ,including disc disease but since MRI is normal , we need not think in terms of Disc Disease. There could be many other problems like ankylosing spondylosis , deficiency syndrome like vitamin d deficiency, Sacroiliitis , Muscular weakness etc. I would all my patients on mild pain killers , muscle relaxants, I would suggest that you get X-ray of lower back, Blood tests for vitamin B12 and D3 , Complete blood count with ESR and HLA B 27.Let us know the result.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
