hi there i been having a massive pain starting from the lower lumbo saccral region i cant sit for long since sunday night all of a sudden. neither i can walk properly and micturation is very difficult including coughing. i have seen a surgeon he has given me antacid and diclofenac twice daily...the pain has subsidized as off now till the effect of painkillers but if i stop taking them the pain resurfaces back again although not like the one i had 3 days before but its like a chronic pain and it goes down the legs?has been advised a week of complete bed rest . just want to know is it a sciatica pain?
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. You are most likely suffering from prolapsed intervertebral disc or caudal bonus syn Chat Doctor. Do you have radiating pain in lower limbs/ weakness in lower limbs? You should consult with orthopedic surgeon/ neurosurgeon and should go for x-ray lumbosacral spine as preliminary investigations. You should also go for CT/ MRI scan lumbosacral spine for better clarification. You should do strict bed rest. You should take painkillers with serratiopeptidase and choral forte for reducing swelling. You should stop sitting & lying down on floor. If not treatable with medicines then you should go for surgery. Take care,
