Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. The greatest probability is that you suffer from arthritis. Arthritis is a disease that causes painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. To treat this condition you can take anti anti-inflammatory medicines such as Advil. Massage, chiropractic procedures and physical exercises can also help. To confirm the diagnosis you need a spinal and pelvic X-ray, a fibrinogen test and a complete blood count. Spinal Ct-scan is necessary in order to rule out herniated disc. You should contact your neurologist to discuss the diagnosis and the right treatment. Regards.
