You could be suffering from spondyloarthropathy. A detailed clinical evaluation and tests like X ray spi1. ne, MRI lumbosacral spine, HLA B 27, ESR etc may be required.
Next Steps
1. Take anti inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen round the clock for 4 to 5 days.
2. Do spine and limb stretching exercises daily.
3. Swimming or hydrotherapy is very effective.
4. Exercise is very effective in managing these conditions. But should be started only when pain is decreased.
Health Tips
1. Take healthy diet rich in calcium.
2. Undergo regular exercises

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You can take a tab. pantakind-D once or twice a day half an hour before food for 3 days.
Tab. Zerodol-th8 twice a day after food for 3 days.
If it still persists, get it checked out by a orthopedician in person for further evaluation and management. . best regards.
