PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG W/ME?!!!

I HAVE NOT HURT MYSELF IN AN ACCIDENT HOWEVER I AM 44 HAD MY FIRST CHILD AT 41 W/NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A CSECTION. THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY WAS VERY EASY OTHER THAN SWOLLEN FEET AT THE END. I RODE MY BIKE TO THE HOSP THE DAY I GAVE BIRTH AND ENTIRE TIME I WAS PREGNANT. (EVERY DAY ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES)

I HAVE HAD A PAIN THAT GOES FROM ONE SIDE OF MY LOWER SPINE TO THE OTHER for a few years but it wasnt enough to worry about. as it only hurt when i stood and did too many dishes, but as soon as i sit down it was fine.

well recently it has been unbearable i cant walk for more than ten min w/out wanting to bend over backwards and sideways and to sit down immed. i cant do dishes longer than 5 min w/out pain and now its getting numb. b4 i had my son my feet hurt so bad that i could barely walk but i thought i was detoxing these pills cause that went away after a week or so and didnt come back.  but now when i walk in sneakers or flats or anything the front of my legs (not sure w hat the muscle is called) the front of my calf from ankle to knee on either side (right leg would hurt on right side and left leg on left side) a sharp weak almost as if i had worked out for 2 hours w/out stretching (what you would feel the next day)

recently i got 2 bad pap smears but they say i dont have hpv so they dont seem worrried they just want me to keep coming back for another pap every 4 months. IM FREAKING OUT.  FIRST I TRIED A HOLISTIC CHIRO FOR A FEW MONTHS ALONG W/ACCUPUNCTURE IT DIDNT HELP.  THEN I WENT FOR AN XRAY AND DOC SAID IT SHOWED I HAVE A VERY LIGHT CASE OF SPINAL ARTHRITIS. (NO WAY ON GODS GREEN EARTH IM BEING SUCH A WUS FROM SOMETHING THAT LITE) I CAN TAKE PAIN SO IM SURE ITS SOOMETHING WORSE AND IM TIRED OF BEING JERKED. IM SCARED OF MS OR MD OR SOME OTHER DEGENERITIVE DISEASE.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY W/MY SON. (BESIDES I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER BUT I CANT EVEN THINK OF THAT TILL THIS IS FIXED AND AT MY AGE I DONT HAVE TIME TO MESS AROUND.  THANK YOU

Are you saying your back is ok now, and it's just your lower legs?

That sounds like shin splints

the lower back pain is my big problem its in the muscles on either side of my spine. my lower spine seems arched too much (my butt sticks out too much, i feel. when i pull in my butt hard it feels better but i cant walk that way.(the physical therapist i was going to said my muscles were or are extremely dense (im very solid but 40lbs over weight) im 5'4 185lbs and feel horrible. (i am trying to lose weight)  
the PT SAID when i was lying on table my knees and legs did not touch table so he wants me to stretch and elongate them. and ofcourse i agree.  but am scared it could be something more serious like md or ms etc....  thanks in advance.
