Hi,
You have not mentioned your age.
If you are elderly then thare are all chances of having osteo-artheritis changes in vertebral column and in the knee joints causing problem like backache, difficulty while getting up.
go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region and of knee joints.
After reports go for treatment accordingly.
Avoid bending knee joints more, avoid squatting or cross legs.
Do back-extension exercise.
Take calcium and vitamin A, D supplements.
Ok and bye.
