Nerve impingement: You most likely are irritating the nerves as they come out of your spine. Strengthening and stretching exercises will help with this problem as well as ibuprofen for several days to decrease inflammation.

Hip/ left side sore: Sounds like sicatica, should get car seat cushion ( Amazon). can use it for regualr chairs as well.. Try motrin 200 mg 1-2 before driving ( if not allergic and no ulcers/bleeding) break every 45 minutes to 1 hour when driving follow up w/ doc/ urgent care for PT referral to keep limber, and muscle relaxants
