Morning, after seeing my doctor who diagnosed sciatica, could you please give your opinion on my symptons. I am in terrible pain in the lower part of my bum cheek and down the back inner part of my leg to the knee. The pain is bsd when sitting working and if I exercise. I have taken ibruprofen and also flarin, tired hot wnd cold compresses, bathing with Epsom salts but it is just getting worse. My spine clicks yet there is no pain at all in mt back including lower back. Thank you

Afternoon,

Sciatica is pain along the distribution of the S1 nerve root. On other words, pain in the buttock, back of thigh and calf into the sole and/or side of the foot.

Your symptoms are along your medial hamstring. It’s possible that you’ve ‘pulled’ a hamstring.

To get a better idea of what’s going on I’d have to take your case history-how this started, exactly what makes it worse & better etc.

I’d also need to examine you.

After that it should be fairly straightforward to figure out what’s going on.
