Hi,
As you are 50 years and having backache indicates that you might be having some degenerative changes in your lumbo-sacral spines.
Go for x ray lumbo-sacral region.
Take calcium. vitamin A and D supplements.
Go for physiotherapy like back extension exercise.
consult orthopedic surgeon for expert opinion.
Ok and take care.
