Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem can be a muscle strain or intervetebral disc injury or sacroiliac joint dysfunction.A thorough physical examination by an orthopedician will give clue for that and an X ray followed by MRI might be needed to confirm it.For such cases i advise a short course of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac Muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic drugs.I also recommend physiotherapy along with this.Usually it will take at least 1 month to recover.For some it may prolong till 6 months.If no improvement with conservative therapy surgical treatment can be considered.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
