Pain In The Pelvic Left Lower Quadrant After Carrying A Heavy Object Upstairs With No Hernia.
About three months ago I carried a heavy object upstairs and had lower abdominal pain following this. I recovered from this but find I have a localized pain in the left lower quadrant of the pelvic area that is painful when walking. I have been examined with no obvious hernia.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to lifting of heavy weight there can be injury to vertebra or sacrum ,you may need to do X ray spine and MRI spine.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is back pain and pain in pelvis.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapistfor help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If not relieved ultrasound pelvis may be required.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
