What Does Pain In The Lower Back, Hips And Thighs Indicate?
I had a fall in February. Had L5 discectomy and laminectomy. Still have massive pain in lower back, groin, hip and upper thigh. Have had joint injections in the si joint with the longest relief being 8 days. Doctor suspects si joint dysfunction and recommends fusion. Your thoughts? I want to be sure.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take Aceclofenac and Paracetamol tab twice a day for 5 days. You can take Rabeprazole tab twice a day for 5 days. Apply Diclofenac spray on affected site. Apply warm water bag on affected site. If not resolved then consult your orthopedic surgeon, do X-ray of affected part. Do physiotherapy, it is also helpful.
