My lower back down into the top part of my hip is swollen and tender, lying on my left side at night is painful, as well as walking up stairs. I was told it might be Bursitis, which I fell in July and torn my ACL and mess up other parts. that s when my pain started in my lower left side of my back and hip.
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you find difficulty in climbing the stairs up and down and also had an ACL injury, this could be related to either a strain on the muscles or the SI joint or may be because of the nerve impingement as well. Having a Thorough clinical assessment of the Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular system will help assist further. Also, in my Clinical practice patients respond well to physical therapy with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy post which exercise is implemented and in 7-10 days of time active recovery is achieved.
