Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Lower Back, Hips And Legs

Hi, I am experiencing an extreme amount of severe pain in lower back, both hips and down both legs through my knees. It is very difficult to find a comfortable sitting position. I stretch every day and due light exercise every day. This has been going on for several months now. I am a 55 year old male in decent health.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in lower back, hips and legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like lifting of heavy object in wrong posture, injury, vitamin B12 or E deficiency, nerve compression , disc problem or sciatica. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant ,anti inflammatory , or recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement. Physical therapy wll help alot . Avoid standing and sitting for long time in one posture. Avoid excessive bending and wearing heels. For now apply warm compresses to back , hip and leg , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
