One thought: were you in flexion or extension when your back flared? Even when Laura was regularly fighting the facet pain little changes helped like being hunched forward on her handlebars when riding a bike. If you weren't loading the facets, it sounds more like really pissed off and spasmy muscles. Have you thought about a short-term pulse of antispasmodic or muscle relaxant as a diagnostic?
