Hello there,
After reading your concern the only best suitable option left for you is visiting
a Physiotherapy clinic to get the treatment started on priority basis.
The more you delay the more it will get worsen.
As you have not mention your age & sex, but after reading complaints it appears to me that you are above 50 years. DJD means degenerative joint disease. For this you will have to take anti-inflammatory medicines at the earliest along with the Calcium supplement.
in the mean time you can start with Hot water fomentation to the painful site, and mild stretching.
If you are visiting physiotherapy clinic 9as it is a must for you)
Do not forget to take-
Lumbar traction
Lumbar mobilisation
Facet joint mobilisation
neural mobilisation
Stretching of hamstring muscle
Core strengthening
The mobilisation technique will help in circulation to the joints and will result in healing of the joint.
regards
