Hello,
It may be due to muscular atrophy or muscle weakness or lumbar spondylosis or osteoarthritis or anemia etc.
Please get X-ray of lumbar spine and bilateral hip joints.
Use tablet Zanaflex twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
