Hello

The pain in the buttocks radiating on his ankle is suggestive of possible schiatica, which is a pinched nerve in the lumbar vertebral column. For this reason, I would recommend holding a lumbar brace and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting position. A lumbar spine CT scan or MRI would be needed.

Regarding jaundice, it is necessary investigate for the possible causes: billiary stones, an infection, a born metabolic defects, or chronic hepatitis. For this reason, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound and blood lab tests for hepatitis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
