Dear patient
Back pain occurs in some during pregnancy and postpartum period due to increased weight as a whole and abdomen in particular. but it is relieved after 6 to 8 weeks in almost all patients. You are having pain for last 2 years with stiffness of back and needs further investigation. You should go for radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If it's aabnormal take a call for orthopaedic surgeon nearby you. If it's normal take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 7 days. Take tablet gen d3 once a week for 4 weeks. Take tab shelcal 500mg mg twice a day for 1 month. All tha best.
