Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain That Radiates To The Hip
I started having lower back pain on the left side which is now radiating around the front of my hip. This started after a day in bed with a cold. We have a terrible mattress which often gives us low back pain but is quickly resolved when we get out of bed I m not currently very active,but I m relatively fit & somewhat overweight, but not obese. Should I first try icing the area? I m thinking it could be my hip flexor.

Hello,
This may be due to Disc disease or sacroiliac joint disease. You should get examined by a neurologist. Painkillers may be taken for acute relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
