It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular aerobic exercise for 30 minutes/day may help by making your muscles stronger and more flexible. If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative. If that does not help it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
