Pillows are tough. Something that I find wonderful may be horrible for someone else.
If you have all those problems a pillow is the least of your concerns. I would recommend back sleeping with a pillow under your knees to ease your back pain. Sleeping on your side will also cause hip pain and shoulder pain. I am a side sleeper but I am trying to learn to sleep on my back to ease a shoulder problem I have been having. I also have arthritis in my neck and tend to be most comfortable on my side but that aggravates the shoulder. Can't win.
Get a good mattress. I have a coil spring mattress with a 4" foam pillowtop. It's heavenly. I got rid of my really nasty hip pain when I got it. But mattresses are also something that are an individual thing. You need to be able to lie on it for 20 minutes or so and see if it supports you properly.
First thing to consider is that unless you are average height most pillows will be the wrong size. If you are tall or short then the pillow will be too small or too big. So look for pillows that come in different sizes. I am short so I look for smaller pillows.
If you have neck problems then a neck roll can be very comfortable. Some are good for side sleepers too. You need to find one the right size for your height. Some neck rolls are designed to go into the pillowcase with your pillow.
Memory foam pillows can be very comfy since they deform to match the shape of your body. You can get fancy contoured ones or regular ones. I have a contoured Tempur-pedic neck pillow in size small and a cheapo one from Walmart. Sometimes one is more comfy than the other. But, because they are temperature sensitive they are too hard in winter and too soft in summer.
I just bought a Tri-Core pillow which is good for both back and side sleeping. If you lie on your back there is a neck roll to support your neck with a depression for your head. I like it because my head doesn't roll side to side. Then the sides are high for side sleeping. When I first got it I tested it for about 20 minutes on my back and my whole body started tingling as my neck relaxed. Now that I sleep with it I wake up with little or no pain in my neck.
So this is the one I bought.

Here' some info on getting used to a new pillow. https://youtu.be/0HXlh1x1XKM?t=3m20s
Something else I like is the Mooshi Squish pillow. It's a small microbead roll that is comfy on the back of the neck. If you can't find that brand there are lots of comparable brands.
