Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
The pains you have could be bony( weakness ( calcium, Vitamin D , hormones ), degenerative changes in spine or disc leading to muscular weakness or irritation & or nerve pinching, irritation , compression in origin.
Blood calcium & vitamin D levels, MRI - would help in pin pointing the cause followed by needful treatment with calcium , vitamin D or anbolic steroid supplements / oral anti inflammatory drugs, nerve sedatives like Pregbalin/ local steroid injection/ physiotherapy or surgery.
Please consult a neurosurgeon.
Thanks.
