Brief Answer:
Spine disc herniation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The most probable reason is spine problem. Due to spine disc herniation you get a compression on the nerve. This causes pain, especially when moving the particular part of the body.
I suggest you to consult orthopedist and have spine MRI done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
