What Causes Pain In The Lower Back On The Right Side?
I fell on concrete, hard, on my right hip. I have an artificial hip joint on that side. I had it check out and its fine, but I have pain in my lower right back and my right thigh and inside right knee. My ortho guy put me on steroids for a week, and the pain is a little better but I still need a cane to walk. Moving or weight bearing is very painful. Aleve along with a Tramadol help slightly. Any ideas?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If I were your treating doctor I would come up with two possibilities, these include:
first possibility:Loosening in the artificial joint and this can be excluded by doing new x ray for your right hip joint.
second possibility:Infection in your artificial joint which can be excluded by doing the following investigations ESR,CRP and TLC in addition to signs of infection.
