Had Flu And Developed Back And Hip Pain. Suggestions

I recently had the flu and developed lower back pain. That pain subsided but then it spread to my hip and hamstring. It hurts when i cough or sneeze as well. I assume its sciatic in nature but my hip continues to jam when i do anything active. I have seen a chriropractor and phsysioterapist but the pain has not subsided. Any suggestions?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Radiation / relation to sneeze - suggest nerve root irritation.

MRI spine is necessary to see Degeneration, Disc prolapse, nerve compression...
See an orthopaedician
Analgesics and muscle relaxants help in the meanwhile...

Take care
