There isn't sufficient information to give you a specific diagnosis. I would advise you to visit an orthopedician so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations such as X-Ray, MRI(if indicated), etc, and find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly. These steps may help:
- Drink 3 liters of water in a day
- Do not carry heavy weights
- Correct your posture while lying down, sitting, standing and walking.
- Apply a hot water bag over the area that hurts and gently massage the muscles in the area that hurts.
Next Steps
Follow the steps as advised
