Extreme Back/Hip pain

[BejeweledMexican]

My left side has been killing me for almost a week now. At first I thought it was my hip out of place but now the pain is extending all throughout my lower back. It is especially painful when I bend over or go to stand up. When I'm sitting down I feel a little pain but nothing too severe, the feeling does go down into my leg though. I'm just so concerned that this could be cancer that has spread. I mean, it seems more muscular since I only really feel it when I'm moving but it's been a week now and barely any relief. I'm freaking 27 and here I am walking around like I'm a 90 year old grandma lol it's kind of funny but also really starting to concern me. Anyone have any advice on this? I can't get into the chiropractor till next week and I've been trying different stretches but nothing is helping.

If it's a strained muscle issue, then it will take at least 2-3 weeks to get better.

Could be a pinched nerve or muscle imbalance that is causing pelvic torsion. I had something similar but the opposite of you, it hurt when I sat down and lessened when I walked. The more active I could be the better it felt. Worse in morning. Mine was due to a twist In my pelvis caused by weak glute/hamstring muscles on the opposite side. Hip and back pain can be from muscle/nerve issues in other nearby areas.

Didn't we think it was sciatica at one point a while ago? Sounds like a possibility to me.

Longer than that. 6 weeks is pretty standard and longer isn't weird.
