A member asked:

I have severe pain above buttocks but in the lower spine, advice please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low back pain: Your condition is commonly seen. Has your doctor examined you? This may well be the result of a lumbar (back) problem such as a herniated disc or slipped vertebrae. Luckily if it is related to the spine, it should be easily remedied. If you havent yet, speak to your regular doctor and ask about the symptoms and possibly a referral to a specialist to evaluate. You should not have to live in pain.
