Hello,
I will advise you to first get a comprehensive evaluation for your joint and backache. Likely cause will be osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. pain killers should not be taken on a daily basis and definite treatment is important. Physiotherapy will also help along with medical management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
