Lower Back Pain, Painful While Walking For Long, Pain In Right Side. Is This Muscle Or Nerve Issue?
I seem to have lower back pain on the right side. My lower back quite stiff and walking for long distances was painful. This seems too have subsided somewhat by I still have pain in my right side above my buttocks and occasionally shoots down my right leg. Seems to happen when I stand for a while. In your opinion, is this a muscle or nerve issue?

Hi,
If you are elderly then there might behaving degenerative changes in your lower spine giving rise to irritation or pressure on nerves giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region and find out the reason.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Physiotherapy will help a lot.
Ok and take care.
