I have this condition and have found the only way I can get about is with a pair of trekking poles, this really impacts on the arm muscles most notably the triceps; I also use a low - frequency vibration plate and other isometric and stretching exercises. There has been an improvement this year, so I am keeping up with more of the same. I had never heard of
Camptocormia until about 2 years ago, but was determined to try anything. Now aged 79 and the same weight and height approximately 5' 9'' and 168 lbs

Welcome @templebar457, Trekking poles are really helpful for me if I am walking outdoors. I have the same lower back fatigue/pressure issue but no real pain when walking and the trekking poles help me walk more upright. Have you also tried a back brace?
