How Can Back, Hip And Buttock Area Acute Pain Be Treated?

I'm having severe lower back/hip/buttocks pain. I can't figure witch part it is coming from. It happens most when I am sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning counters, or doing laundry. It brings me to tears everytime it happens. I don't know what is going on, or how to get rid of it. I try to work through the pain, but it has brought me to my knees many times. Please Help Me!

Hi, thanks for posting the concern in HCM.
A severe low back pain, combined with hip pain, may be due to the following reasons -
mechanical back pain
Spinal problem, including anatomical abnormality like Schuermann's disease, lumbar scoliosis etc

Lumbar spondylosis
PIVD
Other causes not related to the musculoskeletal system like urogenital infection, enterocolitis, spastic colon may also cause similar pain.
Now, considering your isolated symptoms, I think the problem is mostly musculoskeletal and related to faulty posture. An Xray of LS spine - ap, lat view will be first needed along with clinical examination by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon.
Now, till the diagnosis is done, you can have Tab Paracetamol 650 mg twice daily after meals for pain alongwith muscle relaxant Tab Benzaday 15 once daily at bedtime.
Physiotherapy along with local heat therapy may help.
Plenty of oral fluid should be taken along with high fibre diet to avoid constipation.
Please avoid stooping, carrying heavy weight etc.
You may also need an MRI of lumbar spine if clinical examination and xray are inconclusive.
If you have any other questions, please write back directly to me. I shall be happy to help you out.
Wish you a good health.
Regards.
