Hi,

I have read your problem.

Usually back pain and hip pain are managed with pain-killers till 1 month period. If it persists beyond 1 month, then further investigations are done. Since you have a bad pain I will suggest the following:

- Back pain can be due to many reasons. You should get x-ray lumbosacral spine done in AP and Lateral done, x-ray pelvis with both hip joints, send us report or discuss it with your doctor. Only then further management can be advised.

- Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain.

- You can take medicine like painkillers + muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor. You may need stronger pain-killers which are available on prescription only. You can try ibuprofen or naproxen till you see your doctor.

- Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.

You are welcome to ask further health related queries.

Thanks.
