Brief Answer:
Seems related to sciatic nerve
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain in foot going upto thigh could be either due to pinched nerve at the lower spine or it could be due to some local irritation at the foot level. Seems more likely a disc problem or sciatica.
I will suggest that she gets diagnosed for it with X rays and MRI spine if needed. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for it.
Meanwhile she can take pain killers like aceclofenac (Aceclo) upto 2 times a day as required with meals. Since Also take Neurobion Plus Tablet twice daily for atleast 3 months.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
