[|AI|]  HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem can be related to lumbar spondylosis or sacroiliac joint arthritis. A physical examination by an orthopedic will give clue for this. An X-ray followed by MRI if needed will confirm the condition. Local corticosteroid injection will give pain relief in case of sacroiliac joint arthritis. NSAIDs like Nimusulide for short term will help in relieving symptoms. Muscle strengthening exercises and physiotherapy will help in case of long-standing pain. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
