Severe back pain and nerve compression in left hip - #16398

Hello,

This may be due to nerve compression such as sciatica or strain in the lower back because of your posture while working.

🛑What you should do now Avoid long sitting: Stand or walk every 30–40 minutes. Improve posture: Use lumbar support; keep feet flat and back straight. Do gentle stretches: Knee-to-chest, cat–camel, pelvic tilts, and gentle sciatic nerve glides. Use heat or ice: Heat for muscle tension; ice if pain is sharp. Sleep support: Pillow under knees (on back) or between knees (side sleeping).

🛑Many people your age do recover with posture correction, regular stretching, and movement breaks, especially when the pain is related to long hours of sitting.

If it worsens/ affects walking , please see a orthopedic surgeon in person. You may need xray and physiotherapy sometimes.

I hope this helps Thank you

Your situation sounds quite challenging, but there are several strategies to manage back pain and nerve compression, commonly known as sciatica, due to prolonged sitting. First, consider adjusting your workstation ergonomics to reduce strain. Use a chair with proper lumbar support to maintain a neutral spine, and make sure your feet are flat on the floor or on a footrest. Take regular breaks to stand, stretch, or walk a little bit—ideally every 30 to 60 minutes. These short breaks will help interrupt prolonged sitting and reduce pressure on your spine and nerves. At home, apply a cold pack to the affected area for 15-20 minutes every couple of hours during the first few days of experiencing pain. After that, alternating with a heating pad can provide relief by relaxing tight muscles. Analgesics like ibuprofen or paracetamol may also alleviate discomfort, but only use them as directed and after checking with your healthcare provider, particularly if you have other health conditions or take other medications. If the pain persists or worsens, seeing a professional for further evaluation might be necessary. A physical therapist can offer targeted exercises to strengthen your core muscles and relieve pressure on the nerve. Be attentive to any red flag symptoms such as severe, unrelenting pain, significant weakness, or any loss of bowel or bladder control, as these require immediate medical attention. Getting an evaluation by a spine specialist could be crucial in managing more serious conditions. Remember, addressing lifestyle changes along with medical treatment can provide a comprehensive approach to handling your symptoms over the long term.
