What causes sciatica pain radiating from the right buttock towards the ankle?
Patient: I m quite sure I have Sciatica, pain in the right buttock and down to the ankles. I have had this for 1 -1/2 been to PT & Chiropractor - do not feel any better than before. I am in a lot of pain today, at work and walking and standing. Should I have an MRI to see if it could be my Hip???? thx Doctor: Hello,Thank you for using healthcare magic.I read your question and understood your concern.I think you should do MRI of the lower spine , not of the hip. The problem is in the nerves that come out of the spine so you should check that part at the neurology specialist.I wish you quick recovery.Dr. Selmani
