Back pain due to injured lumbar sacral joint. Pain radiating from the buttocks to the leg. Do I have sciatica?
Patient: Hi .  I have back pain.  I injured my lumbar sacral joint when I was 18.  I am now 74.  I now have pain which radiates down my left buttock and down my leg.  I also have pain in my right groin which is always there.  I had a fall some 10 years ago and I believe my lower discs fractured and have now fused.  I believe I have sciatica.  I am hoping that the pain in my groin is associated with this and not a hip problem. Doctor: Hi                              You have back pain, after injury to lumar sacral joint, when you was 18, you are now 74, you have pain which radiates down to the left buttock and leg, also have pain in rt groin, you had fall 10 years ago.                               Dont try to make your own diagnosis, if you have severe pain consult an orthopedic surgeon. dont neglect orthopedic problems.                               Avoid taking tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and seafoods.                               Thank you.
