muscle pain on middle right back Posted: 06-23-08 20:41pm


I am 46 and I have pain from my right hip tapering off as it goes down my leg after standing too long or walking too much. I've had this for years but in the last 6 months I developed constant pain in my lower to middle back on the right side also. I inadvertently discovered that my left buttocks has a deep pain, almost like something is ready to pop and make it feel better when it's pressed on very firmly. The right buttocks doesn't feel this way. I've been to a chiropractor and he popped some things in my lower back but I still had the pain. He said my leg lengths are equal, my hips are moving well and he can't figure out what's wrong. I had one session of spinal decompression, but the whole time I was thinking if only someone could pull my hips, not my waist, something would pop and feel better. I have always (from the teens or twenties up) had a tender lower back and a sharp pain if I move the wrong way. What do I try next?

Hello Gardengirl, PLEASE make an appointment to see the very best spinal surgeon that you can find for his/her advice. I hope the spinal doctor will recommend that you have an MRI and x-rays. You have been putting up with this pain far to long. Gardengirl, please do not wait any longer to seek the advice of a spinal surgeon. RichT

I meant to add that I had an MRI after one really painful week when I over did the walking while already in pain (thinking there was going to be something SO obvious) and they said I have osteoarthritis - like I couldn't have guessed that. And that was it.

Hello Gardengirl, I'm glad you had the MRI. NOW do your research and seek the advice of the VERY BEST spinal surgeon available in your area. AND do take your MRIs with you to the spinal surgeon. Also, are you taking any medication for your osteoarthritis, and I don't mean pain meds? RichT
