What Causes Pain In The Lower Back And Buttocks?

Last week I developed pain in my lower back, by Saturday the pain had also moved to my (rightside) buttock & the outside of my right cave area. Since then the pain has increased exponentially I whenever I move or stand the pain is so severe, I almost fall to the floor. What can this be?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

I will advise you not to neglect such symptoms

According to history simple muscular or ligament strain doesn't seem your diagnosis here

It might be nerve compression that leading back pain as well reffered pain in buttock and below that part also in leg
(bulging disc might lead nerve compression)

Your examination should be done and if needed then CT scan or MRI like investigation planned for that

According to cause further specific treatment given

If it is nerve compression then physiotherapy and pregabalin like medication is initial management

If muscle or ligament strain then ibuprofen for five days prescribed

Take care

Hope your concern solved

Consult nearby orthopedic surgeon for examination
