Suggest Treatment For Severe Painful Muscle Spasms On The Lower Back , Hip And Buttock

I have been having very violent and painful muscle spasms in my lower back, hips, buttocks and thighs. When they occur I can hardly stand, sit or walk. I have seen a doc, who prescribed anti-inflamatory pills, muscles relaxants and pain killers, and nothing is working. What do you suggest?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe painful muscle spasms on the lower back , hip and buttock . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like wrong posture , injury , vitamin B12 or E deficiency , nerve compression , disc problem or sciatcia . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant ,anti inflammatory , or recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement . For now apply warm compresses to back , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
