What is the reason for the pain in the lumbar spine and buttocks

Lumbar and buttock pain may be caused by lumbar disc herniation or lumbar bone hyperplasia.

1. Lumbar disc herniation: Lumbar disc herniation is usually a degenerative disease of the waist. It may also be caused by frequently doing heavy physical work or bending over for a long time. It is the result of the enlargement of the fetus during pregnancy, which causes the waist to be affected. It is not ruled out that it is caused by excessive obesity. It usually compresses local nerves, causing sciatica pain and buttocks pain, as well as lumbar pain, accompanied by leg soreness and numbness. It is necessary to choose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as celecoxib, to achieve the anti-inflammatory effect. Physical therapy, traction and massage should also be combined to help improve symptoms.

2. Lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia: It is a chronic degenerative disease of bones and joints. It may be caused by inflammatory stimulation or metabolic disorders. It cannot be ruled out that it is caused by aging or trauma. It usually manifests as pain in the waist, legs and buttocks, accompanied by abnormal walking and movement disorders. You need to pay more attention to rest, reduce long periods of sitting or standing, and wear a waist belt to limit waist movement. You should also take ibuprofen or diclofenac under the guidance of a doctor to achieve anti-inflammatory effects. Taking opioids can help relieve pain if necessary. This can be done through hydrotherapy, cold therapy, heat therapy, and physical therapy such as transcutaneous nerve stimulation.
