Back pain related to the psoas muscle.?




I am wondering if anyone has had any trouble with this I think just from researching this is my problem. Can anyone give me their symptoms and how they either got it fixed or do you just deal with it.

My symptoms:
*Can only sleep on my right side at night with a pillow between my knees and one propping up my chest in fetal position. This is the most comfortable way but not pain free. If I sleep any other way I will be so stiff when I wake up it is almost impossible to get out of be very painful almost to the point of tears.
*Pain down buttocks on right side and through thigh. Kinda like sciatic nerve pain hurts to walk may last for a minute or hours.
*Pain in mid and lower back daily but mostly just annoying not really bad painful. Most of the time feels like stiffness.
*Sometimes alot of lower abdominal soreness.
*Pain and stiffness at very lower back right above the buttocks but on either side of the spine not on the spine.
*Cannot lie on the floor on my back or stomach too painful. If I try I have to try to pull myself up on something to get up.

I am not obese or overweight. 5"7 157lbs. No accidents or injuries to my back this has gradually gotten worse over the years I need to see a doctor I agree but if I can fix it at home that would be great. Also, it has not gotten to the point that it stops me from doing things.
Almost forgot my hips also get sore and stiff as well.
