What Causes Pain In Lower Back And Hips?

I am 64 with high blood pressure that I am controlling with meds. I have changed from lasinapril because it was making me cough. My dr. changed it to Cozaar. I started taking it about 7 days ago. Since Sunday I have had lower back pain. My legs feel very fatigued and sore. Tonight I am having a lot of pain in my hips that I can t lay on my side they hurt so much. I was told I have bladder stones but have not had any issues with it that I m aware of.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in lower back and hips can be due to a number of causes like Brusitis, Tendinitis, Osteroarthritis, Endometrosis,Sciatica etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopaedic Surgeon and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like x ray or MRI scan to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treatment can be planned accordingly..

He can advise you to take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants,multivitamins, stretching exercises, warm compresses..
As of now you can take painkillers like Motrin or Tramadol to relieve pain..
Avoid long duration of standing and streneous work..
Avoid lifting heavy loads..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
