how to make back or hip pain go away?

Careful evaluation by a good back specialist or even an orthopedic physician is always helpful to clarify whether or not the pain is originating from problems directly coming from the back or the hip.  However, this type of symptom is often from referred pain that is originating from the pelvic floor muscles and the organs contained within the pelvis.  Therefore, it is important to have a careful evaluation of the area where you experience the pain and also the pelvic floor muscles.  The concept of referred pain is exemplified by the symptom of left arm pain when a person is having a heart attack.  There is nothing wrong with the left arm, but every provider should consider the heart as a potential cause for this pain.  The same is true when you have complaints of back or hip pain-there are many other problems that can contribute to this symptom.  If it is originating from problems not involving the back or your hip the true source of the pain needs to be identified and treated.  A good history is often all that is necessary, but a careful examination is also important.
