It is good to learn that you are taking such a good care of your physical fitness. I think you have made a reasonably accurate assessment of your problem. The symptoms are suggestive of a degenerative spine and the clicks that you feel are described as cricks and these may be normal for some persons. The symptoms usually are stiffness of the back especially on prolonged sitting. You could continue your walking without fear. Only precaution that you need to take is to avoid sitting continuously. If at all you need to sit continuously try to sit upright with a back rest and try to keep your feet up on a wooden block or any such elevation of 10 – 12 inches. take a break after every half-an-hour or 40 minutes to get up walk for two minutes and then sit down again. If the exercises that you have started give you relief then you may continue them. However, avoid any movement or exercises that increases your pain. Without seeing you all I can suggest is be guided by your pain.
One more precaution, during a long journey back to India, take an aisle seat and once the seat belt sign is off, get up every half-an-hour or so and walk for two minutes. Taking an aisle would avoid disturbing your fellow passenger.
