Suggest Remedy For Injured Back Muscle Running From Hip To Right Side
Dr. Rynne, Thanks for taking my question. I have hurt my back on the right muscle that runs from my hip up the right side. I did it after working on a patio I am building. The next day, I simply reached across my desk and felt a sharp pain in that muscle. I iced it for a couple of days, then did some hot and cold stuff and light stretching. It seems as if it is really inflamed. It really hurts when I sit, and try to get up. Any other suggestions. I am 60 years old in great health. John C

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to some muscular pathology some time this could be due poor posture or poor gate some time physiotherapy works very nicely, if this is sport injury then better to see the concern trained person, if the differential diagnosis taken into consideration then spinal cord degenerative disease need to be ruled out, hope this information helps, take care.
