Hi,
fromj history it seems that there might be having some degenerative changes in spines giving pinched nerve pressure giving this problem.
There might be having some osteoporosis contributing this back pain.
Go for x-ray spines for osteoporosis and spondilitis changes.
go for physiotherapy like back extension exercises.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Go for slow walking exercise.
Ok, and take care.
