Suggest Medication For Pain In Indents Of Back & Hips

hello my name is Kristina (tina) Luck I am having serve pain from the indents of my back around to my hips down the side of my legs across the top of my knee into my calves I am on neurotin right now but it does not seem to be helping. I have been woken up at night with hot sharp knife like pain on the outside of my legs as well at the top of my feet, I had one doctor tell me this is bursitis but I was wondering if this sounds more like sciatica? and would like to know what type of medications would be better for this problem. thank you

Hi ,radiating pain from back to thighs and inside of legs suggest lumbar radiculopathy.

Kindly do the Xray LS spine and MRI LS spine and further treatment is decided by investigation report. Thanks
