Lower back and hip pain on the left side can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, sciatica, herniated disc, osteoarthritis, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Muscle strain is a common cause of lower back and hip pain, often resulting from overuse or improper lifting techniques. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, leading to pain that radiates down the leg from the lower back. A herniated disc can also cause pain in the lower back and hip, as the disc puts pressure on the nerves in the spine. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, can lead to pain and stiffness in the hip joint as well as the lower back. Additionally, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, where the joint connecting the sacrum and pelvis becomes inflamed or irritated, can cause pain on one side of the lower back and hip. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for lower back and hip pain.
