How to get rid of lower back and hip pain?
Patient: whenever I lie on my back through the night I can't get up. I have to used my hands and upper body to pull myself over onto my side to then fall to the floor, before I can slowly stand up. The pain in my lower back and hips is very sore. when I am up and about it is better, if I lie on my side in bed with a pillow between my legs its okay too but I can never stay that way.. I always end up waking on my back. having more and more sleepless nights now due to the pain getting worse. and I'm only 33. Any ideas what this could be? Doctor: HiThank you for asking HCMI have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely osteochondrosis or trauma to spine if you had it.A physical examination with an Orthopedician will give clue for that and a X ray followed by MRI might be needed to confirm it.For such conditions i treat with muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside  and NSAIDs like Aceclofenac.I also advise muscle strengthening exercises and Physiotherapy along with this.In case of no improvement a surgical correction can be considered.Hope this may help you.Let me know if you have any further query.
