Pain in left side of hip and leg
I had a back pain due to lifting something heavy and it went away but there's still some pain left hip till thy just above knees. It's kind of a mild pain but tickling. And have no problem while walking or lying down but while sitting the pain starts and increases.

It's possible that the lifting caused some strain or sprain in your lower back muscles or it could be related to nerve compression. The pain radiating to the hip and thigh suggests a nerve involvement. It's recommended to avoid any activities that cause pain, apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, several times a day and try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a doctor who can conduct a physical examination and may order imaging tests like an X-ray or MRI to determine the underlying cause and suggest appropriate treatment.
