Bad shape once again!

Yesterday my husband and I planted some lovely flowers. We planted them in hanging pots and regular pots. I guess I was moving around more than I usually do, and last night I was in terrible  lower back pain, unable to be comfortable no matter what position I tried to get into.  This morning, I was almost totally unable to walk.  Pain and compression seems to be in both hips now. I am so discouraged.  By last Xmas and most of the winter I was in much better condition, and then the last few weeks it seems like I have taken a very serious set back. I am reluctant to go back to any Orthopaedic doctor, as the last one simply said my condition "was progressive" and I was not a candidate for surgery. So does this mean I have to simply have to suffer for the rest of my life?? - guess so! 
We wanted to go up to the Adirondacks this week, but I decided it would not be much fun if I am unable to walk.  Supposed to be almost 100 degrees by this Thursday, and I am not very good in that kind of heat.
Trying to get out of this bad, bad depression - seems like it was just a cruel trick to feel better and now to have such a set back.
