Hi,
It seems that you might be having degenerative changes in your bones and muscles giving this problem.
There might be having osteoporosis and osteomalcia.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Keep habit of slow walking and some physical activity to keep your musculus-skelaton system active.
Ok and take care.
