Mysterious scars on my back?

About a year ago I went to get in the shower and noticed three (one of them is broken in the middle) long, deep into the skin, horizontal scars in the middle my back. They were bright pink then, but are now purple. Then my mother and doctor said it looked like someone had burned me or wiped me. My doctor was unsure, but unconcerned.
I have been trying to do some research on this on my own today. So before you all say what you think might have caused it, let me explain why that can’t be.
I have NOT had any sudden growth spurts so they are NOT stretch marks, although they have a similar appearance of them. I weigh about 100 pounds steadily, give or take a pound or two, for the past three years, and I have never weighed one pound over 105 so it is not brought on by sudden weight gain or lose. I am not anorexic. I eat every meal. I am 5’8 now, one inch taller then last year and only two inches taller then the year before. (5’8 = 17, 5’7 = 16, 5’6 = 15, 5’4 = 14) No sudden growth spurt...
I have great posture. I walk with my shoulders back and head up high, and when I sit on a chair with no back, my back is straight.
Also, about a year before the scars appeared I had a strange back pain that came on with nothing happening that could have brought it on(such as vigorous activity or weight lifting). The pain was so sever that I could stand no pressure(not even a sheet) on my back. My back was not red, although it looked a little swollen. Anything touching my back would send my crying and trying to get away. The ER just gave me heavy duty pain meds and the only way the pain went away was after my mom got some church group to pray over it… Even though the scars appeared nine month later, could sever back pain somehow cause it?
P.S. I've never had a ghost experience or woke up sweating. I rarely dream and don't have a history of sleep walking, and if I did, the slightest sounds wakes my mother up so she would know. Also Spiritual answers are optional if you haven't a logical one. Also, from my research I looked up morphea scleroderma. Looks nothing like it and is nothing like it so please don't mention that here.

I have Scleroderma, factor V lieden, severe raynauds, & a bunch of other things going on. I have an ulcer on my left leg that will not heal. it started out as a small spider bite & now literally half of my leg from my knee down is eaten away. (wnt 2 c pics?) Part of my tibia (sp?) is exposed & about 8" long x 6" wide is raw meat. I have several speciality docs but in need of new pain doctor since my move to the cleveland clinic.
I need an understanding pain doctor close to home (waterford)
I feel like people walk into doctor offices every day and get all kinds of pain pills for phantom back pain, etc. I walk into a doc office seeking pain relief and am looked at like I am crazy!!
I am in pain most of the time as you can imagine how much it hurts to have the majority of your leg pure raw meat. I need an understanding, sympathetic doctor who is not afraid to prescribe meds-oxycotin
No, I'm not an abuser, yes they control the pain, can anyone refer a doc? lvmyshay@yahoo Thank U!

What does cramping and back pain in between your periods mean?
I had my period that was 3 weeks late. Then my next two were a couple days early. In between my last period and this one (around the middle of my cycle) I had two different days, about a week apart from each other that I had bad cramping and back pain. No bleeding. Then my period came 3 days late. I have never been regular, but this pain in between is not normal for me. What could be causing this? I'm not pregnant.
