What Causes Back Pain ,hip Pain And Pain In Right Groin?

I have low back pain, I had 2 surgeries with metal implanted. Now both hips hurt, painful sitting, walking, standing still, and lying on either hip. I have fallen 6 times in 2 weeks because I get a severe pain in my right groin. However, the left hip feels worse but the groin pain is on the right side. My pain travels down the back of my left leg and around the front. When I sit, it feels like I am sitting on a tennis ball under my buttock. Since my 1st back surgery, I now have neuropathy in my left foot & leg and sometimes on the right side also.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of disc bulge in spine, disc then this can lead to compression of exiting nerve root which later on supply right lower limb [leg].Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it.

Neurotropic medication like methylcobalamine and pregabalin will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Spine extension exercises will help you.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
