Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
I think that your symptoms might be caused by spinal arthritis.
To relieve pain you should use Acetominophen 500mg.
You need a spinal X-ray, a fibrinogen test and urine test to confirm the diagnosis.
The results of the above tests will determine the definitive treatment.
Ask me for anything unclear.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
