Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Joints
Question: I have severe pain in my hip joints and tailbone while I lye down. Standing, sitting, daily things are ok. It,s only while trying to sleep. I,ll toss and turn, trying to get comfortable but the comfort only last about an hour or two so I can't get a good nights sleep. I try to lay flat on the floor but I get spasms and pain in my hip and tailbone. Sometimes it takes awhile to get up. Once I'm up, it seems to go back into place and the pain goes away.
Brief Answer:
Needs proper investigations for diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain of the hip joints and lower side of your back can be due to-
1. Lumbar muscle strain- due to tear or pull of muscle fibres.
2. Injury to hip joint ligaments.
3. Lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, etc.
4. Arthritis or ankylosing spondylosis.
5. Weak core muscles-Strengthening the muscles that support the spine helps keep the spine in its proper position and reduce risk of sprains, strains and lower back pain.
6. Vitamin D3 deficiency.
Proper diagnosis involves investigations like ultrasound of the abdomen, X-ray and MRI of the spine after an examination by your primary physician.
The treatment will then depend on the cause.
Hot fomentation and oral muscle relaxants can provide a temporary relief till then.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
