I have been experiencing lower back pain and hip area for a few days and now pain just under left breast. I m thinking it could be sciatic nerve pain but not sure and I find it hard to get comfortable; especially when sitting. If you could give me some insight I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief description of your symptoms. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned by you that you doubt in a sciatic nerve pain, undergoing the detailed neuromuscular assessment followed by an MRI of the lumbar spine will help us understand better the symptoms and soft tissue Injury. Also, post the assessment and diagnostic test you will be recommended to take Medication and perform exercises under a physical therapist to ensure the accuracy and optimum results. Besides, the pain below the left breast could be due to gastritis or an abdominal muscle spasm. Undergoing a thorough neuromuscular assessment will help come rule out the factors and guide us for the accurate therapy. As for sciatic nerve pain, in my clinical practice with the detailed neuromuscular assessment, MRI scan and special exercise plan helps my patients with 99% of success rate. And they come back to action with optimum results. I wish the same with youRegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
