How to treat intense sciatica pain in the right leg?
Patient: hi I have sciatica pain radiating down my right leg. the pain is 5/10 on good days and 8/10 on bad ones. the most difficult time is when i get up from a lying position. it takes me on average of 30 minutes until I am able to stand on my right leg because the pain is just unbereable. thank you. antonio Doctor: Hello,What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be suffering from lumbar disc prolapse with pinched lumbar nerves.I would suggest you to undergo physiotherapy sessions which include muscle stretching and strengthening exercises. If no relief, then you can get an MRI scan after consultation with your physician.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
