What Does Lower Backache And Pain In The Upper Buttocks Indicate?

Hi, I’ve been having some lower back pain directly associated from lifting a heavy object a week ago. This week i’ve been expierencing pain throughout the lower right side from my upper right butt cheek to my upper calf. I’ve tried stretches though painful they give minor relief. What else can i do? Or is this something i should be seen for?

dear sir/ madam
by your description of the symptoms you are most likely having a mechanical low back pain,
i would like to know if you have tingling numbness of lower limbs, any sensation disturbance or weakness in your limbs ,
if there are no such symptoms i recommend rest , hot water fomentation, back strengthening exercises, and wait or another 2 weeks, and also to avoid lifting heavy weights.
I find this answer helpful
