I am experiencing lower back pain on my right side. Not bad while sitting or laying down but very painful when I walk. Extreme pain in lower back and right thigh. Don t know if it s a sore muscle or pinched nerve. Taking Ibuprofen 600mg and Diazepam 10 mg tablets every eight hours. Pain still persisting after three or four days. Didn t slip and fall or engage in any heavy lifting recently. This is a first for me. I m age 60 and in good health otherwise. Hope you can offer some insight. Dave F.
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. This may be pain referred from your back due to nerve impingement in the spine from spondyloarthritis or fiscal hernia. I would say to continue with Ibuprofen and you can add also Tylenol and some physiotherapy procedures such as Ultrasound, tens etc., to relieve your pain. If pain still persist after 3 months then you should do lower back MRI. I wish you quick recovery.
