How Can Lower Backache And Pain In The Buttocks Be Treated?

I have lower back issues from lifting people while in and out of there mobility equipment, I have a continuous pain in my right buttock but gets worse when I m laying in bed or trying to get out of bed along with painful knees but becomes less painful the more I walk around, why do you think that is or could be I m sorry for wasting your time, I have no extra funds to pay, I live by myself with my mentally challenged sister, just spent my tax return to pay off bills and catch up on my mortgage. The only income we will have now is her disability. The ER just sent me a bill from my visit totaling $927.00

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lower back muscle spasm can be the most likely reason. Taking over the counter NSAID drugs like Ibuprofen along with Ranitidine daily for 5 days will be helpful.

You can also do hot fomentation on back. If no improvement then x-ray should be taken to rule out spine problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
