Brief Answer: Try back strengthening exercises Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. From description it seems you might be suffering from siatica. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with just conservative treatments in a few weeks. MRI is needed to establish the cause of sciatica, so that appropriate treatment can be prescribed. Now I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedician or Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
