Sprain/Strain: There are many potential causes of acute low back pain.  The most common are sprain/strain injuries.  Usually acute back pain will improve over 1-2 weeks with anti-inflammatories, gentle streching, and use of heat/ice.  If your pain does not improve or gets worse you should contact your physician.

Question 2

had total colorectal removal 10 yrs ago.
last 9 months been anaemic with pain left side of abdomen which goes through my hip and lower back, front leg?

Accepted Answer

Left hip/ leg pain: Follow up with doctor this week. Would consider CT of abdomen/pelvis to ensure no cancer, check renal function as that can cause anemia as well. Did you have inflammatory bowel because if that recurrs in small intestine or ileum can cause  anemia( though usuallyright side). Also consider hip films to check for arthritis.

Disc compression: neuropathy: you must see an orthopedic expert and obtain an MRI of your lumbosacral spine, exam, evaluation,diagnosis and treatment. I would also suggest a physical therapy consultation after imaging is completed.

Bursitis: Clinically it sounds like you may have hip bursitis.  And MRI of the back would not disclose this condition.  Therapy can include exercise, or injections, physical therapy, but it does not portend to get hip arthritis
