Dr. Timothy Mathis answered

Many Issues: Many more answers are needed. This could be everything from a herniated disc to spinal stenosis to facet arthritis to episacral lipoma, Or if the pain is in a different location meralgia paresthetics or even a hernia or an intra abdominal issue. Alot can be figured out without a physical exam, but more details are needed.
