I personally, strained my back from track(iknow weird..) anyway, it felt so much better that I went on the trampoline and was doing front handsprings and flips. That pulls your back, and I made my back like 654691631times worse then it was originally. With cheet/gymnastics, you are constantly pulling your back. You need to rest for a little bit, maybe a whole week off. Heat your back, so like lay on a heating pad, and then ice it down after practice, use an anti-inflamitory (like, ibeprophen). Lastly, call your doctor again. If it has gotten worse you need to talk to him, I am just going off of what My doctor said for my back, but talk to them and your coach.
Explain to your coach what your going threw and how you need to take it easy, they would rather you take a break for a week, then do something that will make you be out for months.
Feel better!!
Hope I helped!

i was a cheerleader and had the same problem. im pretty sure its nothing serious - i went to the "back doctor" and she prescribed parafon forte (i forget how to spell it) its a muscle relaxer. your probably just over-working your muscles and/or spine. it depends on your position. backs and flyers are more likely to have this happen. try to find a good chiropracter and make appointments once a week - itll help. hope i did :) 17/f ]
Have you tried slowing down with the sports any? If not, you're still overworking it and it's getting worse because of that. Try using a heating pad on it and slowing down some. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to go back to your doctor and see what he thinks you should do now.
