Lower back ache
I m neet pg aspiring student. Sit for approx 6 8hr/day to study. Since 4months my back aches, also 2months earlier I fell riverside, since then my right hip aches while walking sitting, difficulty while external n internal rotation at hip joint. I went to doc he prescribed some mr and to start physiotherapy. After 1month of physio symptoms were present I went to another doc he prescribed etoricoxib. I took it for more than 15days. Whenever m on tablets I feel less pain. But as soon as I stop them the pain reappears. Inicially all started from back stiffness, but I realised it more on right side but it aches on both side may be lil less on left side exactly at the sacroiliac joint bilaterally. Since I completed mbbs few months back (dndt join any hospital as I wanted to prepare) I thought it could be sciatica or may be ankylosing spondylitis spondylitis. Today I again went to doc he asked for hlab27/mri. Just want to knw could it also be somatoform disorder?
