<human>: hello, for the past few weeks I ve had a dull ache running down from my neck onto the back of my shoulder blade and then 3 days ago I awoke with a sharp, severe pain in my lower back. mainly in one spot over my right side buttock. the pain goes across my hips and I cant pull myself up forward without severe pain. I can roll or lay on my side with no pain.
<bot>: Reclothe pain in neck running down to shoulder is most probably due to muscle stiffness. The pain in lower back at point over hip suggest a lumbar disc prolapse causing nerve root compression. I think an MRI lumbar spine will help to diagnose this. Anyhow, you must keep your posture correct. If you have to work for long hours in sitting position, I would suggest you take a walk around in your chamber after every 30-40minutes. Do hot compresses. Take a painkiller medicine or apply painkiller ointment over back. Consult a physiotherapist and learn back strengthening exercises. Thanks
