Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the hips and the back could be due to a disc degeneration. An MRI scan will; help in the proper diagnosis. Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms and the diagnosis. Pain killers in combination with the muscle relaxants may be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
