Causes of sharp lower back/hip pain?

jasmf, Just a thought. I wonder if you are having what is called sciatica pain. It hurts like the dickens. Does your
pain go down into your leg?

Blessings & Prayers....

I ve got the same kind of trouble, and it is nerve that is pressed in the lower back. You should go to the specialist to speak ab that.

@jasmf Hello, I have been dealing with chronic low back and flank/oblique pain for almost 3 years now. This started in July of 2023 as sharp, low right back pain sever enough to where my wife drove me to the ER. They thought possibly kidney stones, ran a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis to check all organs, and found nothing.

Ever since that day, I have been to multiple hospitals, have seen many, many doctors (more than 30 medical professionals), have had every image and blood test you possibly can, and no one can tell me why I am in the pain that I am in. There has never been pain in my groin or running down my leg. This has thrown many doctors off, as they ask the same questions about the pain and where it is felt. With no pain in my groin or leg, they scratch their heads and walk away.

The latest area I am looking at is what my primary doctor thinks could be a Neuroma. This is a damaged nerve or nerve bundle that can result from an injury, a surgery, or amputation. There are several types of Neuromas, and the one that involves the Abdomen is called a Ganglioneuroma. They are scheduling a Nerve Block, similar to an Epidural they do for your spine. The doctor will inject into my Oblique muscle area on the right side, and if it is the problem, I am told I will know that day, as the pain should be much less than it has been.

@marcd2k it sounds like you have been on a long journey to find out where your pain is coming from. I hope that this nerve block helps you. Just be aware that sometimes they don’t work the first time a doctor tries this procedure but maybe a second and third attempt will help. Don’t give up! Thanks for writing.

@mshepard1 Thank you for writing. It has been a long journey, almost 3 years of pain from when I get up until I go to bed, every day, all day. It really wears you down.

I had the injections, they called it Trigger Point injections at the doctor's office, now I wait to see if there is any relief. I have had 3 epidurals. The first two did not make any difference, I was not better, but I was not worse. Unfortunately, the 3rd epidural I had was back in February, and from the day of the epidural, I was, and still am, in more pain than before the procedure.

The doctor mentioned if these injections did not work, there is a Botox option. I read about doctors using Botox for locked muscles, so that might end up being my next step.

I had a bilateral prudendal nerve block. Amazing results with less pain that actually goes to all parts of my body.
Also doing the Belief Code which was free that lowered my STRESS level by removing my subconscious blocks.
