I am trying to figure out how to help my boyfriend deal with the great pain he is in, He says that he is hurting from the top part of his butt cheek were it meets his lower back. he is having a hard time moving around or getting up. would that be his sciatic nerve, a pinched nerve, or that muscle that follows the sciatic nerve? please help with some solutions because he has no medical insurance an cant go to the dr. office.
In my opinion all he needs to do is give his back a little rest. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. He can also apply some good anti-inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing walk at least once a day. After 2 weeks start with some back strengthening exercise. It will help him build you back muscle, and he will be able to continue his routine work but do not overlook at the symptoms right now. As it is still early days for him, and he can be fine and back in action with these small things. Good luck
