I went to the chiropractor a week and a half ago, after the visit almost all of my movements something would pop and shift. As of sunday I can't lay with out my mid down to lower back aching and my hip feeling off. I can't sit without lower back aches, and some right hip pain in the lower back area. I can stand but after standing for a while my right hip starts getting a pain that starts as pressure and gets worse the longer I stand. Is this just from my adjustment or do I need to go back in? The only activity out of the normal that i've done is tubing down the river for a couple hours. What would you recommend?

Hi there, you didn't mention that for what problem you went to chiropractor? Anyway as you mentioned your pain started just now and you went to chiropractor much more before that so it doesn't seem to be related with each other chiropractic adjustment can lead to some soreness of joints but that will vanish away after 48 hours. About your problem that you mentioned is giving picture of disc bulge with sciatica. And that is why you feel pain in your buttocks because it radiates from back. I suggest you to to do following 1.rest and posture correction: take rest if possible for a week and also avoid sitting slouch for long time and sit on chair with back rest, straight upright 2. Apply hot pack thrice day for 15 min 3. Apply local ointment like volini 4. Avoid using too many pillows during sleep 5. Do mckenzie back extension exercise (search on google) if no improvement in 1 week consult nearest physical therapist for further examination thank you hope this will help you.
