Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar and what the issue was?

So four months ago I had the start of a lower backache. Nothing too bad, just sore when I would lay down and bend. Then my left side was really sore when I stretched or bent over. I had a few massages etc and it didn't provide any relief.

So went to physio and after 2 months no improvement. The left hand side muscle now aches when I am sitting or laying down. The lower back is still achy most days.

I've had some imaging done. Thorasic MRI showed no issues.

I am back to the doctor to discuss but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience similar? They've also ruled out kidneys as the culprit. Any ideas? Could a muscle issue really last 4 months?
