Hi,
From history it seems that due to carpentary work for many years there might be having some degenerative changes in your lumo sacral spines might have osteo artheritis changes in your spine giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region and find out the cause.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Go for physiotherapy.
Go for back extension exercise.
Take calcium supplements.
Ok and take care.
