General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I warmly Welcome you to HCM.

Reassurance:-
No, it doesn't look like bursitis. And getting bursitis never means it will be transmitted to children too. There are a lot more factors for bursitis to affect someone.


Probable Causes:-
*Degenerative Vertebral disease in the Lumbosacral region.
*Intervertebral Disc herniation in Lumbosacral region.
*Pinched Nerve in Lumbosacral region.


Evidence:-
You already have Degenerative disease in neck vertebrae. It means process of degenration may also have started in lumbosacral region.



Explanation:-
The diseases of the vertebral column in the lumbosacral region causes the spinal nerves to pinch and pain is felt in lower back that radiates and is felt in the area of its supply too.


Investigations:-
MRI lumbosacral region.


Management:-
Apply Bengay ultra stretch gel on affected area and massage. Apply heat afterwards. Take Tylenol for pain.
