Hi, my lower back really hurts. Very stiff and uncomfortable the pain dosent go away even with muscle relaxing meds heat and ice makes it worse it's very uncomfortable I can't lay down I can't walk I can't bend sitting is painful. The pain goes down my left leg and also the joints seem to hurt where leg bones connect and on left side leg u can hear like joint rubbing sound up my spin. I don't know what to do feels like my lower back was kicked and pressure pushing is this like disk slip or something ?

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
It seems that you are having an issue in your lumbar spine, probably an intervertebral disc pathology causing the symptoms. As you have tried the conservative mode of treatment and your symptoms are still persisting , I advise you to undergo MRI scan of Lumbosacral spine and consult an orthopedic surgeon and follow his advise accordingly.
Hope this helps
