Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has pain in the right side of his back around the hip area, is not the joint, is more where the bone called the ilium ends near the sacrum? He does not have pain when he walks but when he seats it hurts. He is courier driver. He is 61 years old . He is pretty fit , he 5 7 ans weights 165 pounds
Dear- thanks for using our service, I understand your concern about your husband and will try to help you with my advise. His pain could be secondary to tendinitis. His pain is worse when sits because is pressing the area that is inflamed. Due to his job ,he needs to be sitting most of the time ,that makes the pain worse due to chronic compression. He might try a back support or a back cushion,that might help the pain. If it doesn't get better, he will need a plain xray of the area . He can try anti-inflammatories as ibuprofen for pain control. I hope my advise has been helpful Dr.Sara
