Hi there
Thanks for the query
Do you have pain radiating from your back to your legs?
Any tingling, numbness or weakness of the legs or feet?
The back pain could be due to degenerative changes due to chronic stiffness and possibly due to the activity you have mentioned.
It's best you do an MRI lumbosacral spine to look for any changes.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
