What Causes Lower Back Pain With Muscle Spasms And Pain In Buttocks?
Symptoms are suggestive of slipped discs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the description of your symptoms. These are suggestive of slipped discs in the lower back region, causing compression of the lumbar nerves. Your symptoms can be explained on this basis.
Once we have your MRI report, treatment can be planned to make you better. In the initial phase, medications and physiotherapy are the best options.
If the above do not work, then, epidural injections and surgery may be considered in appropriate cases (about 10-20% of all cases).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

MRI would show up the slipped disc.

Thank you for getting back.
MRI would show up the abnormalities including slipped disc, disc degeneration or ruptured disc, regardless of the severity of pain or other symptoms.

Thank you for sending the MRI report.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back with MRI reports.
I have noted the details and agree that the MRI findings are minor and your symptoms can not be fully explained on the basis of these findings.
You need to see the rheumatologist for evaluation and to exclude a diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
I also agree with the rest of management planned for you at this stage.
