What causes pain in the lower back and buttock?
Patient: I have pain in my lower back on the right side I also have pain in my right but cheek and sometimes down my leg I have had it for over a year I don t like to go to the dr but the pain is getting worse and it is making me not even get up and walk because I know its going to hurt what do u think it would be. Doctor: Hello,It could be a just lumbosacral strain or lumbar disc injury. I suggest you undergo physiotherapy for the same. The physiotherapist will be able to teach you stretching exercises and proper posture. You can apply local pain relieving balm or gel twice a day. If the pain and radiation get worse or persists after six weeks, then you can consult your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,       Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
