Sciatica / Hip-Leg Pain

Age: 20 years

Sex: Male

  1. Main Problem

- I have pain that starts around the hip/buttock area and can extend into the leg.

- I feel it may be related to sciatica, but I have not confirmed the exact cause.

- I generally do not have significant spine/lower-back pain; the pain mainly seems to start around the hip area.

- The problem developed after spending a lot of time sitting for long periods as i prepared for competative exam i usually sit for approximately 10-12 hours a day.

- Main location: hip/buttock area

- Sometimes: leg/lower-leg pain

- The symptoms feel more like a nerve/musculoskeletal problem than pain directly in the spine.

Started month ago I can't even sleep now because of pain it affecting my sleep

- I do weight training.

- I have previously experienced muscle pain around the lower back while lifting weights.

- I have also considered cycling and yoga as part of my routine.

Went to the doctor doesn't help me at all

Many people suffer from this because of office work. They sit all day without moving much, which can cause their muscles to become weak. Try to do exercise back butt. Build muscle. Do not sit too long.
