Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that pain in your back and hip can be due to two reasons. First one it can be due to lack of practice as you suddenly started exercises without warming up or preconditioning your body.
Other cause can be due to bilateral hip AVN. It may possible that now you have developed both hip arthritis and it is causing pain in hip and back. So I would recommend you to get x ray of the spine and hip and see if there is any problem. If it is bilateral AVN then you can get THR for that.
