Hello,

Waist pain may be due to lumbar spondylosis or disc prolase or disc bulge with nerve compression or back muscles spasm. Many other possibilities like ankylosing spondylosis.

ASO is associated with rheumatic arthritis but it is common in younger age group not with back pain it may present like large joint pain. During old age it may be rheumatoid arthritis which may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. It may affect back but more commonly small joints of hand and foot. Please get it done ANA,RA factor, ESR,X-ray of lumbar spine etc.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
