Hello Respected Doctors/Physios
15 days ago i had lifted heavy weights roughly 45 kilo on My back at Farm. I jad pain on lower back and was diagnosed with mild dis bulge of L4 amd L5. My paim was reduced in lower back after physiotherapy. I am now experiencing pain om gtrater trochanter while ealking etc it is painful .
1) should i rest complete or do basic l4 l5 recovery excercise
2) whats good cold pack or hot pack?
3) any idea whats wrong?
Pain over greater trochanter could either be due to lumbar disc or inflammation of bursa over the trochanter
