HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to lumbosacral disc prolapse or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. X-ray of lumbosacral spine should be carried out and MRI might be required for more detailed information. Local corticosteroid injections will give relief in sacroiliac joint arthritis. Muscle relaxants like tizanidine, NSAIDs like diclofenac and neurotrophic will be helpful. Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful also. A consultation with an orthopedic is well appreciated. Loss of excess body weight and using lumbar supporting belt will be helpful also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks
