Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been suffering from lower back pain, which radiates to my buttock and thigh muscles. The pain is not constant. It comes and goes. What shall I do? Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Without examining you, I can only offer possible cause of low back pain.The probable causes are:
1) Muscular strain.
3) SI (sacroiliac) joint in-formation.
4) Disc prolapse.
5) Lumbopelvic dysfunctionality.
What you need to do is to see an orthopedic surgeon, and get yourself examined. I suggest you get the following tests done:
1) X-ray pelvis and lumbar spine.
2) Vitamin D levels.
Depending on the first set, treatment will be physiotherapy or further tests.
Regards.
