What Causes Pain In The Hips?

I ve had lower back pain for two weeks. Initially I though it would get better but it hasn t. Pain is radiating down my left leg and it has a numb feeling at times, also my left hip has started hurting. I ve tried heating pads/massage pads but it hasn t helped. I ve had pulled muscles in my back before but never lower in my hip/tale bone area and they have gotten better within a week or two.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It might be due to neuropathic causes like sciatica. We have to rule out other neuromuscular causes also.

You can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
