Pain in lower back near buttocks
While lifting something ingit sharp pain in lower back and got to orthopedist he give me 10bday medicine and said no bending and lifting anything and said rest for 20 days but today is 4th week and still I have pain .I searched it on Google they saying slip disk because I have similar symptoms like pain in buttocks in right side but it was one month ago now I have pain only in lower back near butt but from yesterday I feeling itching sensation in my feet only in my feet not any part I literally get depressed will this thing ever heal I read many people about slip disk they say all surgeries are just money grabbing by doctors because once your back is operated it becomes weak what should I do now
Most likely your pain is due to muscles ligament sprain while you were bending suddenly.
Normally such pain after a week with rest and pain killers subsides.
Since you have not got any relief ,it is time to do physiotherapy which may help you.If pain still persists ,get MRI done to rule out disc prolapse .
Surgery is done only if there's a bigger prolapse which is compressing the nerves causing severe pain ,numbness and weakness in your legs and feet.
