<s>[INST] My very lower back is hurting. I do have hip problems..could it be from that. I do not have any symtoms of kidney infection except for the lower back pain. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with the start of stenosis of the spine. Is this what is happening? [/INST] Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think  You are suffering from lumbar spondylosis with compressive symptoms.Rest in position of relief, Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief.Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate  this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required..You may be further investigated by MRI of lumbar spine. I think hip problem is separate issue.You may have hip osteoarthritis which can be confirmed by x-ray. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow up query </s>
