Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to pre-existing arthritis or autoimmune disorders. X-ray or MRI spine may be needed. Also sacroiliac joint inflammation needs to be ruled out.
A Rheumatologist review is recommended. Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
