Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

I think that you suffer from vertebral column arthritis.

To confirm the diagnosis you need:
1. Vertebral column X-ray.
2. Fibrinogen test.
3. Complete blood count.
4. Urine test.

The treatment of this disease contains non steroidal anti inflammatory medications.
Massage is also recommended.

Consult your neurologist.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
