What doctor to see for lower back and hip pain?

I've been having continuous lower back pain, and it's also radiating to my hip. It's making it hard to sit or stand for long. Which specialist should I see for this combined back and hip pain?

You should consult an orthopedic doctor first. If they clear you of any major spinal or joint issues, starting regular gentle walking and core-strengthening exercises can make a huge difference in managing the pain.

Go see an orthopedic doctor. Don't go to random massage therapists or bone-setters as they can make a spinal issue much worse. Let a proper qualified doctor take an X-ray first.

I suggest booking an appointment with an orthopedic specialist at a reputed hospital. Make sure to ask them clearly if the pain is radiating from the lower back down to the hip, as they might need to order an MRI to check the nerves.

An orthopedist or a spine specialist is whom you should see. If you sit at a desk all day, make sure to ask them about ergonomic adjustments, as poor posture is a very common trigger for back and hip pain.

Bhai, you should go to a bone doctor, whom they call an orthopedist. Don't lift heavy things right now and let the doctor check your back properly.

An orthopedic doctor is the right choice for back and hip issues. As someone managing diabetes, I also make sure to keep my blood sugar under tight control, as high sugar can sometimes delay healing and worsen nerve-related aches.
