Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to chronic degeneration of the intervertebral disks or the vertebral column bones. For this reason, I recommend performing an X-ray study of the vertebral column.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
