How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Back And Hips Be Treated?
I am 62 and suddenly yesterday got severe lower back pain and hip pain. When I stand cannot straighten up completely. When bending down slightly painful. Used heat on my back. I have gall bladder stones and surgery is required in early November. To MD they are 2 separate issues.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you are suffering from pain of a pulled muscle or overstretched muscle. Apply ice first 24 hours. Warm compresses after 24 hours. Take rest. Take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
