hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment and musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you have a certain conditions diagnosed and also certain physical symptoms which are restricting your functional ability I will recommend to undergo physical therapy. As with physical therapy the pain and aches can be controlled with non invasive electrotherapy. Post which exercises will be implemented where the muscles will become stronger. It will be a slow and gradual process to undergo. As the pelvic area is painful and spine is tender, physical therapy like - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help you with decrease in the pain. Also, exercises are the key for long term recovery.
I deal with similar cases and many more, but with the combination of drug therapy and physical therapy the results are good.
