Welcome to Healthcare Magic
This kind of pain probably indicates spinal nerve compression. Have you taken X-ray/MRI. Are you having loss of weight recently. Any cough. You need to get some tests like complete blood counts, Haemoglobin, if you have cough you can get sputum test to rule out TB. Are you a smoker. It would be best if you consult with Neurosurgeon first. Avoid doing any heavy activity like lifting weights. Eat high protein diet like pulses, cereals, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Exercise daily. Kindly reply on the above issues.
