Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query in my opinion it is a degenerative spine witChatDoctorpressive symptoms. Rest in position of relief, diapering, glucosamine sulfate and analgesics (diclofenac).  Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation can be taken. You can discuss with your treating Doctor. Does not want MRI. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
