I have my back x-ray and MRI scan that reveals it is absolutely normal and is fully functuonal. There is no Vitamin B-12 or D deficiency. However, when I wake up in the morning my left lower back aches and is stiff. I have been doing yoga in the mornings and it helps a bit. But the stiffness hasn't declined and follows with an uneasy pain often.
