this might be spondyloarthritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query

I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today.

All three of your features are suggestive that you donot have spinal problem, but it is spondyloarthritis. I advice you to see a rheumatologist in your city as soon as possible, especially if you have morning stiffness in body

Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to ask me again
I wish you good health, take care
