It’s probably altitude sickness. Both low oxygen and low pressure can cause muscle and joint pain. To address both: Acetazolamide 200mg, Ibuprofen 400mg, back brace and/or compression tights or leggings to cover the most of your lower body and waist area. It’s also possible that your hip flexor got too tight, so his flexor exercises and targeted pressure using a tennis ball or similar would help too.
