I have lower pack pain that radiates into my hips and buttocks. This has been going on for over a week. It is very painful and I have been using a heating pad and taking IBUprophen, 800 mg. It is not going away. I don t know how it started though. I do have lumbar problems that has been going on for years now. Is there anything I can do besides what I have been doing. I think it is a muscle spasm or strain but not sure.
Hello, As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
