<s>[INST] Hi my husband has leg pain and also in his calves and buttocks. He is 28 and describes the pain as burning and electric shooting up his legs. He thought it was varicose viens and had them removed 5 years ago but the pain was still there and has since worsened with time. It never goes away but slightly lessens with sitting. He cant wear tight trousers or shoes cos they hurt him. He had an appointment with a neurologist who gave him tablets for restless leg syndrome but they have not worked. He has another appointment in november but is going crazy with the pain. any advise and ideas would be much appreciated. thanks [/INST] Hi, Your problem is this shooting pain along the legs and buttocks. Firstly to get relief from this pain he will have to avoid any posture, position, or work which aggravates the pain.  He will need specific medication for nerve pain like pregabalin, gabapentin along with muscle relaxants and pain medications available in your area.  He will surely need a euro exam, an MRI of the spine, Please ensure his sugars are controlled if he is a diabetic and to stop smoking if he is a smoker. Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care  </s>
