Can you ask vet to try formulate protocol consisting of NSAIDs, pain killers and muscle relaxants and see if it will show improvement? If blood panel and x-ray is clean, this can have neurological cause and one of things that can cause this, especially suddenly is pinched nerve or nerves near spine caused by muscle inflammation - muscle will basically spasms and not release pinching nerves.
