[|Human|] I am age 93 and I have shrunk to about 5 feet 8 inches and 160 pounds. I do not smoke or do I drink alcohol. I do have a bad back because I hurt my back about 15 or 20 years ago lifting something that I should not have done. (I am hard headed or at least that is what my wife tells me). At one time I was about 5 feet 11 inches and weighed about 190 punds. I still work as a sales rep (for myself). my address is YYYY@YYYY . thanks, biged
[|AI|]  Dear patient At your age osteoporosis is very common. Vertebral compression fractures are common finding on spine X-ray. You might have got your vertebra fractured few years ago. Loss in height is explained by multiple vertebra compression fracture due to osteoporosis that leads to reduction in vertebral height and kyphosis.  This leads to loss of overall height. You might be walking with curved and stiff back. This leads to imbalance and there are increased stress on your back and back pain. So this is related to your age and nothing more can be done. Start calcium supplements like tablet shell ct twice a day for long time. Take tab diclofenac 50 mg twice a day SOS for pain relief.  ALL THE Best.
