Hi, thank you for posting.

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

The greatest probability is that you suffer from arthritis. Arthritis is a disease that causes painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints.
To treat this condition you can take anti anti inflammatory medicines such as Advil.
Massage, chiropratic procedures and physical exercises can also help.

To confirm the diagnosis you need a spinal and pelvic X-ray, a fibrinogen test and a complete blood count.
Spinal Ct-scan is necessary in order to rule out herniated disc.

You should contact your neurologist to discuss about the diagnosis and the right treatment.

Regards.
Dr. Behar.
