Pain In The Lower Back And Hip. Need Immediate Care?

Hi, I am having pain in my lower left back that goes around towards hip area. It hurts to touch. It is extremely painful moving positions (laying to walking, etc.). It is uncomfortable to walk. I had this pain about 3 weeks ago. It lasted a couple days then went away. Now it is back and worse than the first time. Thoughts? I don't want to go to ER if it is something dumb.

The main causes are stress, rheumatic disease.

Give rest to the part.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain most likely caused by a wrong body posture. Taking mild pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular exercise will be helpful to relieve the spasm.Doing hot fomatation and applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
