What Causes Pain On Right Side Of Back And Buttocks?

Hello my name is Christine I m a 21yo f. I was just looking for some tips on something.... My right side, lower back/ buttock area has been in pain for about 3 days now. The first 2 days were bad due to painting my new home, today I finally had some time to do yoga and that seemed like it helped for most of the day. ( I also didn t do much work today either) but something happened, when I went to cwral into bed, the same spot spasmed and is now causing a ton of pain. I am currently laying in my bed unable to sleep due to the pain. After reading about scatica and other lower back issues, I have realized that I have also been having some troubles with bowel movements today, and I m hoping that doesn t have anything to do with the pain. The weakness level in my right leg is at about.... 4 no tingling, a small pain in my ankle but nothing more. A severe pain shooting in my buttock area though when I move my leg wrong. A sharp pain like it s about to pop out something. Any tips on what I could do to help out even make it better?

Hi,
It seems that doing hard strenuous work and painting new home might have caused stretching and spasm of buttock and leg muscles producing this pain.
Take analgesic, muscle relaxant medicine like Dan-MR for 2-3 days.
At this age Sciatica pain is less likely.
Take rest for2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
