What Causes Pain In Buttocks Radiating Down The Legs?

It may be arthritis
Detailed Answer:
Good evening
Thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, to call it as arthritis right after surgery is unusual especially when you don't have any history in the past. However, considering the sort of pain you are having , it looks like either your hip joint is involved or it is originating from the lower back.
If it started right after surgery , one thing I would like to rule out is infection in the joints known as septic arthritis.
Now coming to the type of arthritis you have? If you could attach an x ray film or report which you got done that would be great. I want to see if it is age related or something else. Secondly I would want to know if you got the inflammatory markers done like ESR and crp after surgery
At times it does happen that a lot of underlying conditions get triggered by a stress situation like surgery. But yes we need to sort out the type of arthritis you have first before recommending you further prognosis and treatment
Awaiting your reply
Regards
