What Causes Discomfort In Hip And Lower Back Pain?

Hi! I m having some discomfort with my hip. I do suffer from low back pain, so I m wondering if this is related? The discomfort doesn t prevent me from exercising in any way, or walking...just feels a little sore when I first get up. I want to say feels pulled or bruised. Not sure if I should be making an appointment with my doctor or just ice/heat it.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Discommfort in hip and lower back pain can be most likely due to lower back muscle strain. Ice pack application and using over the counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen (motrin) willbe helpful in such case. You can also use gels with anti inflammatory agents like dicofenac and methyl salicylate for local application. You should also have a short period of rest from hard physical exertion for 3 to 5 days. If that is not helping then you should approach an orthopedician to rule out any problems with lumbosacral spine like disc herniation or sacroiliac joint arthritis.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
