Individuals over age 60 are more likely to suffer from pain related to degeneration of the joints in the spine. Two of the most common causes of lower back pain in older adults include osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis.
Facet joint osteoarthritis, also called degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis of the spine, is a degenerative condition that develops gradually over time. The pain is caused by the breakdown of the cartilage between the facet joints in the spine.
Osteoarthritis is the common form of arthritis and usually occurs in older people. Ankylosing spondylitis is another form of arthritis that can occur in young adults and which causes pain and stiffness in the lower back. Rheumatoid arthritis may affect the spine but you are likely to have other joints affected too.
Treatment :
Keeping active
Continue with normal activities as much as possible. This may not be possible at first if the pain is very bad. However, move around as soon as you are able, and get back into normal activities as soon as you can. As a rule, don't do anything that causes a lot of pain. However, you will have to accept some discomfort when you are trying to keep active.
Medication : Drugs like Arthro supreviver (Longrich) enhances immunity and strengthens bones. It contains chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine hydrochloride which are effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (weak bones).
It relieves joint pain and swelling.
It hinders the production of enzymes that cause cartilage damage and help prevent osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (weak bones).
It is also good for rheumatism.
It helps in reviving bone functions in stroke patients.

Muscle separation : As the uterus expands, two parallel sheets of muscles (the re**al abdominis muscles), which run from the rib cage to the p***c bone, may separate along the center seam. This separation may worsen back pain.
