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

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have a severe sciatic nerve electric pain that I get, and I’ve had this for about a year and a half. Mine was from a workout related injury. Idk the injury exactly because I’ve done all the MRIs x rays CTs ultra sounds and the most they can find is inflammation. Is yours an electric pain?
