I think i have a sciatic nerve injury....i have a sharp pain that started off as only hurting when I would move my hips forward. The pain I felt started from the upper right buttox area down to the upper right calf. After a couple weeks, it was just pain in my calf. Now, I feel the pain back in my buttox area and calf and hamstring. I have been stretching lightly just till I feel pain, and trying to do body weight leg exercises to help it. Could you tell me what this could be and how to treat it? Thank you
Hello, This should not be a sciatic nerve injury. Sciatic nerve injury is generally felt as tingling or numbness in lower limb which is either continuous or appear with movement of leg. To me, it looks as hamstring strain, which occurred due to exercises. I will advise you following for relief:- If possible then take rest for 3-4 days-Do warm fomentation over back of thigh.- Take a good analgesic like paracetamol or diclofenac 100 mg after food. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
