What Causes Persistent Severe Pain In Lower Back And Buttocks?

I fell on me butt a little over two years ago. I never did go to the doctor about it. I hurt for months. Then I got pregnant and hurt the whole time in my lower back butt area. My son is now 7 months and I m still in really bad pain. What do you think is wrong and what do I need to do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent severe pain in lower back and buttocks . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like wrong posture , injury , vitamin B12 or E deficiency , nerve compression , disc problem or sciatcia . Herinated disc or compressed fracture can also cause such symptoms .I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant ,anti inflammatory , or recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement or surgery in disc problem . For now apply warm compresses to back and buttocks , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
