Hi,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of osteoarthrists spine. As a first line management you can continue analgesics and compression belt. If symptoms persist it is better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. In severe cases surgical correction might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
