Sleeplessness, Hip And Lower Back Pain. What Can Reduce Pain?

I have been under the care of orthopedic doctors for some time and am now under the care of a Pain Manager. I am not getting the relief I need. I have pain in my hips and my lower back. At times cannot walk witout pain. I cannot sleep in a bed without waking up and when I try to walk the pain is severe.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

You might be suffering from degenerative disc disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis.
For this condition you have to do stretching & strengthening exercises in which you have to stretch tight muscle & strengthen weakened ones which will alleviate stress on facet joint and disc.
Meanwhile for pain control take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Wishing you speedy recovery..
Take care
