This response should not be considered medical advice.

 Spinal instability doesn’t have to be painful as it occurs, it can also take on the form you describe.  What likely happens in this instance is that the instability causes joint inflammation and trauma that shows up later.  See http://www.centenoclinic.com/pdf/diagnosis/spinal_instability.pdf .
