I think you have degenerative changes in your spine and joints. This is nothing but age related wear and tear of the joints. Use simple painkillers to help with the stiffness and pain. Use ice packs to give you relief. Keeping active and staying mobile will stop the joints getting stiffer.
If with these things your symptoms do not improve or they get worse, then you will need to see a Physician or an Orthopaedic Surgeon.
Hope this helps.
