Reason For Sudden Acute Pain In The Lower Back?

HI..my 55 yr old husband, tennis coach for 30yrs, who has had some lower right back pain at times that usually goes away in a few days is suddenly having acute pain in the right hip joint with some pain all around the hip? Intense pain when walking even after Ibuprofin, massage, heating pad?.. A sneeze just sent him over the edge!!! What do you all think is mostly likely his problem? He is trying to wait it out a few more days to see if he gets any relief but I hate seeing hi suffer!!!! thanks so much!! :)

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Your husband might be suffering from sciatica.
He should do bed rest. Other treatment options for sciatica include addressing the underlying cause, medications to relieve pain and inflammation (including oral and injectable cortisone) and relax muscles, and physical therapy. A variety of low back conditioning and stretching exercises are employed to help people recover from sciatica.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-saurabh-gupta/64132
