I've had a number of MRIs, but I don't think it's a spine related issue. It's burning pain that feels like muscle or tendon is being torn from the bone near the top of my left side pelvic area. Pain can spread out from there along with stiffness across my lower back that impedes walking. 100-200 yards without assistance is my limit and uphill is TOUGH.

Have you had MRI of your hips/pelvis? It would show soft tissue injury. Mine showed I had bilateral gluteal tendinopathy and bilateral hamstring high grade partial tears. PT is usually suggested first and steroid injections for inflammation and surgery may be needed for serious tears (I may need debridement surgery on my right hamstring as it is not healing on its own).
