General Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear friend,
Your wife having a lump on buttock and left side radiating pain to lower limb. If i am a treating doctor i would like to examine the lump before opinion. It is fatty lump(lipoma) as your doctor said, then the leg pain may not be due to lump. And a sciatic issue can be better evaluated by MRI Scan report. If any nerve compression present then it need physiotherapy and bed rest, alone gabapentin may not work.

So, you should consult neurophysician (or Spine surgeon) for further evaluation.

Thank you,
GET WELL SOON.
