Hello all,
I’m 43 and for a few months now I’ve been experiencing persistent back pain. I’ve been told it’s my sacroiliac, however, I’m not 100% that it is, due to the fact I’ve had sacroiliac pain before and it’s been an ache more than anything.
This feels like a series of very tender spots in a triangular formation, that run from the base (right side) of my back, through the buttock and to the hip. The pain is more like a nagging, pinching, sharp pain. It’s travels about and makes me feel sick. I’ve added a picture of those tender points, although I placed the hip pain a little low compared to where it is.
Sometimes I get an aching ankle and pain across the front of the knee, so I’ve wondered if it could be sciatica, but there again, most of the time the pain in confined to that triangle area.
I am really struggling to describe this pain and it’s not improved at all, or gotten worse to be fair, for about 8 weeks. It’s difficult to sleep on that side and my hip has become very stiff and clicky.
Just wondering if anyone recognises this and can suggest something that I might be wise to get investigated. Volterol Gel or Naproxen have not worked.
Thank you in advance!
