How Can Sciatic Pain And Tightness In The Right Leg Be Treated?
I am 80 years old and am having a problem with the sciatica nerve in my right leg. I had a similar problem with my left leg 13 years ago but was able to cure it with exercise. Not so with the right one. when driving a car i get severe tightness in my butt and upper leg. Are there any medications available that will help. Also what type of doctor should i see for assistance?

Hello,
One of the treatment options you could try for your pain is spinal electro stimulation. It has shown to be very effective in certain cases. I would recommend that you give it a try.
Hope I have answered your query.
