Hi,
If you are elderly then your problem suggesting of having some problem in your spinal vertebrae.
There might be having some degenerative changes in lumbo-sacral vertebrae giving this problem.

Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral spines to confirm.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Go for back extension exercise regularly.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.
