Hi,
from history it seems that you might behaving osteo-artheritis in your lumbo-sacral spines and knee joints as well.
You might be having sciatica pain in your thigh and back leg muscles.
Go for X-ray of Lumbo-sacral region and knee joints.
Go for physiotherapy, short way diathermy and lumbar traction.
Go for patellar exercise.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Avoid weight lifting.
Ok and take care.
