Does arthritis of the lower back causes butt and leg pain?
I am a thirty two year old female. Over the last ten years or so I have had these episodes with my back where I have extreme pain in my back and hip. One time the pain was so bad that I blacked out. I had one of these episodes about three weeks ago and after about two weeks of self pain management with rest, ice ,celebrex, and exercise I decided to go to the doctor. After x-rays I was told that I have arthritic changes in my back and was put on flexeril and mobic. So far they have been no help. I have moderate to severe lower back, leg, and butt pains. It is worse when I walk on my left leg, and worse after I have sat for very long or after I’ve slept. The pain in by leg and butt never go away but.Does this sound like it’s just arthritis or is something else going on? Should I explore it more?
I have been suffering with the same thing since I was quite young and now almost 40 and have another appointment with a specialist on Monday. I hope they can figure this out. It seems to be getting worse. My pain also goes down my legs and they go completely numb. I hate it. It is also in my bottocks.
You may have a pinched nerve? What types of doctors have you seen? Have you tried going to the Chiropractor or a physcial therapist? I had those shots in the back once and they really helped me, but I haven’t had them since.
There are more therapies besides drugs. Keep trying and demanding until you hit on something that helps.
