It’s a combination of arthritis and ulcers in my case, but you’re spot on about poor diet playing its part with my ulcers. Learned that lesson a long time ago. And the again some time later. And then again after that. And then again last week, too. Such is life. Not sure what’s up with my back tho
Sorry to hear about your aches and pains, I get them too as I’ve been getting older, especially my knees. I have a spinal fusion and a few things have really helped to alleviate my chronic back pain.
Stretch every day. I pay special attention to my hamstrings, they get most of the stretching because it helps loosen lower back muscles too.
Try not to sit too much. A sit stand desk helps with that, but I also try to stand if I’m watching tv. It’s weird, but it works.
Go for walks. I don’t have to go anywhere, I just throw on an audiobook or music and walk for an hour or two around the neighborhood.
These keep my daily pain minimal, most days it’s so low pain, I can just ignore it and I’m fine.
Ya probably eating something you can’t tolerate. Been checked for coeliac disease? Affects joints, gut, skin, etc…
