Hi there!

With normal x-rays and MRI, structural issues related to the spine are ruled out. Other possibilities that may need to be considered include postural abnormalities, inflammation, muscle spasm etc. I would suggest having this evaluated by an orthopedician or a rheumatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
