for about 6.5 months now I've noticed a
dull, aching pain in my lower back and
upper buttocks. It's not a strong pain,
rather just an annoying dullness that
seems to get worse when I'm active. The
pain radiates into my hips and begins to
cause some discomfort. Within the past
month or so, I've been experiencing
similar pain in my lower abdomen that is
equal in location to my back pain.
I went to my GP for a physical and he said
that everything looks okay and ran the
basic blood tests, everything came back
alright.
I had a pilodonial abscess removed about a
year ago, and I'm wondering maybe it could
be something from that?
Just a bit worried.

Hello John,
From the pain you have discribed I would
suggest that you seek the opinion of a
spinal surgeon. Make an appointment with
the best one in your area. That pain
radiating into your hips is of concern.
You had your physical, now it is time to
see that spine specialist.
Let us know how things go for you.

I agree with RichT but also wanted to say
that it could stem from your abscess
surgery did they say if there were any
more cysts there when they removed the
previous one? I had to have surgery about
15 months ago for a infected cyst and was
told afterwards I have 3 others in there
and may want to come back and have them
removed.
But with pain going into your hips that I
would talk to a doctor about sorry I could
not be more help.
