Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
You seem to have pain due to Arthritis of sacroiliac joints / weakened bones( osteoporosis)/ degenerative changes in vertebrae or disc problems.
All of these are related to degenerative changes caused by over use/ age.
You need to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed physical examination/ investigations like serum calcium, vitamin D, Rheumatic factor in blood / X ray spine & joints.
After coming to exact diagnosis you would be offered cause specific treatment , which can be( medicines with NSAID, steroids/ calcium & vitamin D supplements/physiotherapy/ surgery
Thanks.
