Patients with lumbar spine disorders may also experience hip pain. If the condition is relatively severe and remains untreated effectively, it can lead to radiating pain, thereby triggering hip pain. Treatment should be conducted under a physician’s guidance, including appropriate use of analgesic medications—such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. In daily life, patients should also avoid engaging in overly strenuous physical activities.
