For a few weeks now I ve had lower back pain especially on the right side and on my right hip along with stiffness and tightness in my lower right side. Sometimes, I need to strain to void. I have no other symptoms other than the stiffness, tightness in my lower back that radiates to my sides and in my right hip and abdomen.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Primary treatment of backache is exercises and analgesics(diclofenac sodium 50 mg three times a day after meals along with omeprazole 20 mg before meals). Cause of pain can be prolapsed intervertebral disc which can be confirmed by MRI LUMBOSACRAL SPINE.ANOTHER CAUSE CAN BE WEAK MUSCLES AND BONE which can be strengthened by doing back exercises and VITAMIN D3 SUPPLEMENTATION IF IT IS LOW(vitamin D3 level by blood tests).
