Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain And Arthritis

In late August, I helped move a friend of mine who is in a wheelchair. I lifted the wheelchair in and out of my car many times as well as push her around while moving her. I m 76 years old. Since then, I ve had low back pain and I can pinpoint a couple of spots in the buttox area and hip area that are sore almost to touch. It almost feels like a nerve or muscle problem and goes down the inside/back of my leg into the knee area and sometimes below the knee. I had xrays taken and was told I have arthritis in my back and hip. However, I m sure that is not new and this all happened after lifting so much weight. Not sure if it could be sciatica or if arthritis can cause this type of discomfort. My email address is YYYY@YYYY
