Back Pain, Hip Pain, Unable To Stand, Ankle Pain. Diagnosed As PIVD. How To Reduce Pain?
I am suffering from back pain on the right hip. I do get pain when I stand for about 10 minutes or when I walk for about 300 mtrs. Initially pain was on right ankle. Now there is no pain on the ankle but only on top of right hip. When I visited Orthopedic surgeon , he has diagnosed it as PIVD (L5 S1). Now I request you to suggest me Correct Remedial measures to reduce the pain.
Hi, PIVD means your nerves being pressed upon by a disc. The symptoms as well as the treatment options vary with the severity. Remember, lifting anything heavy, sitting for long hours, sitting on the ground are better avoided for the present. Hot fomentation, a bit of physiotherapy will help. If you feel decreased power or sensations in the legs, get an MRI done.
