You are on multiple medication and back pain. I think i have few suggestions to you. Start taking calcium and vitamin B 12, wear lumbo-sacral belt. Contact with a physio and leran back flexion exercises. If you are not taking pain killers due to fear of gastritis than take ultracet tablet, it is safe in your age.
