First post, advice needed!

Well I haven't had any spasms yesterday or today as of now. I'm being very careful with my movements, always tighten the abs before I move. Doing my PT exercises and walking some. My low back starts to ache pretty fast when I'm upright sitting or standing. I obviously still dont know if this "episode" (4-6 months varying degrees) is muscle or spine related. I hope its muscle and starts to get better with rest and PT. Rest is always ironic because the more I rest the more the muscles atrophy which makes it hard to do PT without my back getting sore and possibly back to spasms. If it is disc or nerve related I suppose it could still "resolve" itself but who knows how long that might take if ever. I'm still waiting on a referral for a second opinion to see a spine specialist.
