What Causes Pain In The Neck And Lower Back?

I m trying to determine the diagnosis, causes and best treatments for my pain. My neck hurts,also upper middle and lower back, my hips hurt. When I lie on my back I get intense burning in my right thigh. I have atrial fibrillation on a continuous basis and have medium sleep apnea and use Cpap. I have nodules under the skin along my spine, thighs and arms which are painful to touch like bad bruises, I am white female 67 years and weigh 260 pounds. I eat very little but gain weight. In the past 3 years my mobility continues to deteriorate and I have poor balance and major difficulty going down stairs.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, I understand your question and I will help you
With such cases in my clinic I would like to exclude serious conditions as Rheumatoid arthritis by doing certain laboratory investigation (Rheumatoid factor).
Rheumatic nodules of (Rheumatic fever should be excluded also).

Also I advise you to receive NSAID and muscle relaxant. I suggest doing X Ray for your lumbosacral spine and your hips.
