Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to lumbosacral disc prolapse or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. X ray of lumbo sacral spine should be carried out and MRI might be required for more detailed information. Local corticosteroid injections will give relief in sacroiliac joint arthritis. Muscle relaxants like tizanidine, NSAIDs like aceclofenac and neurotropics will be helpful. Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful also. A consultation with an orthopedician is well appreciated. Loss of excess body weight and using lumbar supporting belt will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
