  • I’m sorry about your back/hip pain :( I’m just a medical student so take this advice with a grain of salt:

    Can you describe the pain more? Does it radiate anywhere? Is it worse with more physical activity? Or any particular time of day? Do pain meds help? Also general info about your background - med history, family history, physical activity level, history of present illness (what started it, what you’ve tried etc)

    Generally the recommended treatment for low back pain is conservative (pain meds, physical therapy) for about 6 months. So for myself I usually do NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen), gentle stretching (google lower back/hip stretching), and water.
