Low back pain
Hello,
I am a 27 year old female in a desk job for 5years. I am facing a weird issue with my low back. I face extreme pain on my left lower back above the buttocks.
I cannot sit or stand for a longer duration, I also cannot bend, if I bend I face issues while standing up, I feel like my back is stuck. Approx 4 inch on the back is a little swollen on my back(I feel when I touch). I was asked to do XRay but nothing was found.
Recently I feel a clicking sound on my left knee when I walk or step up stairs. It also hurts when my leg is folded.
I have been suffering a lot from this waist pain and leg pain for almost a year and no remedies helped. Can I ever recover from this, it's worsening day by day!
I am too young and busy to deal with this, pain killers don't help at all!

The localized swelling, âstuckâ feeling while rising, inability to bend, and pain above the buttock fit this pattern, and the knee clicking/pain is likely a secondary biomechanical effect from altered posture and gait. This is not permanent damage, but it becomes chronic when core and hip stabilizers weaken due to long desk hours. Recovery is absolutely possible, but painkillers alone wonât workâyou need targeted evaluation (lumbar + SI joint MRI if pain persists), posture correction, core/hip strengthening, activity modification, and temporary load reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, floor sitting, and bending for now; use lumbar support, short walking breaks, and heat therapyâearly correction prevents long-term worsening.
