I hear you about even walking I have to use a walker sometimes and I’m only 51. I can’t sit forward or bend over or anything without hollering in pain. I don’t work anymore and I have cats and dogs and it’s becoming difficult to do my daily chores and stuff. I can barely clean the cat boxes.
I’ve lost about 50 pounds and would like to be able to do more and I’d love to be able to play with my grandkids.
I’m really at my wits end

I get the same thing (have it right now) and that is exactly how I describe it - it feels like my tendons or ligaments are being torn apart. The pain is quite violent. I get the same feeling in other parts of my body as well.

I should note that I have osteoarthritis in my spine but I also have psoriatic arthritis (PsA). I also think that at least some of my spine/back pain stems from my PsA, but it can be hard to tell. I had a PsA flare in a knee so bad that I could hardly pull my pants over my leg (it was that inflamed) and the pain was so bad that I really couldn't put much pressure on that leg. I had multiple steroid injections over time and the joint pain & inflammation finally went away, but I still had lingering pain on points on the sides of my knee. Those areas also felt like they were ripping. It turned out I had enthesitis there, so now I wonder if I could have the same thing going on with my lumbar spine/outer hip/pelvic area. Sometimes the pain spreads to my sacral area and with it all, I have described as feeling like I was a chicken bone being ripped apart.
