What Causes Left-sided Lower Back Pain Long After Hip Labral Tear Repair?

Yes, thank you. I had a fall yesterday and twisted my torso so as not to hit my head. I have extreme pain above my buttocks between my spine and hip on my left side. It is a shooting hot burning pain and extremely painful. When I place an icepack on it - it helps... can t do heat, too painful. The pain is hot like being burnt and the pain is horrific. It comes and goes so I have to walk slowly and evenly... I did have a hip labral tear in this area almost 10 years ago which eventually went away after five years of treatment. I am going to my local hospital this afternoon to see the nurse practitioner... I m worried!!

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the severe pain lower back between spine and hip of one side indicates possible muscle spasm of paraspinal region.

* This does not sound to be in concern with hip labral tear of 10 years back surgery. Relief with

- local application of analgesic gel or ointment containing diclofenac, linseed oil or capsaicin
- anti inflammatory medications as diclofenac, etoricoxib or others
- avoidance of sudden bending, weight lifting
- assisted physiotherapy
- avoidance of obeisty
- control of blood sugar and cholesterol

* Doc visit to discuss the need of an x-ray spine if condition persists beyond a period of 2-3 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
