Man, sorry to hear about all that. The headaches are listed as side effects with PM aren't they? I'm no expert on that, but I do know that when I tried to up my dose over the weekend I did get a headache. I am pretty sensitive to the stuff as I haven't been able to go over 500 a day.
The spine stuff, I am not so sure PM would be responsible. I work in surgery and have helped on probably 100s of spines. Sometimes an injury takes a little bit to reveal itself. There are numerous other things that could be there also. Ruptured discs putting pressure on a nerve, degenerative discs, arthritis from facet degeneration, etc. I think your back may be the biggest issue out of those, and I would definitely get it checked out. Sometimes people develope weaknesses in the muscles and that can lead to injury through overworking your back. Sometimes all is needed is a physical therapy regime for strengthening you back, maybe a steroid injection, or maybe even surgery for disc protrusion or facet degeneration.
Best bet us to get your back looked at to prevent further damage. I assume you are probably familiar with all I just said since you said you have a history with it. I just know that eventually back injuries do become chronic problems especially with your history.
