backache is a common complaints and can be due to many reasons cancer is the rare one and also more common in older age. You need a good physical exam and testing according to the findings and then the needed treatment. Good luck

It is likely a combination of spine damage from previous accidents and getting adjusted to a new mattress. Other causes for your back pain cannot be ruled out. Would suggest seeing your doc and initiating physical therapy as recommended.

Regular aerobic exercise will help by improving your muscle strength and flexibility. Any exercise will do. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercise so that at the end of 30 minute session, you perspire freely. for diet http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
