Hi,
If you are elderly than this problem might be due to some degenerative changes in your spines called osteoartheritis.
This will give some irritation or pressure on nerves passing through affected vertebrae.
Go for X-ray lumbo-sacral region.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Physiotherapy will be of great help.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Take B1, B6 B12 capsules.
Ok and take care.
