What Causes Extreme Pain In Groin Area From Leg To Buttocks?

Hi I have extreme pain in groin area that travels down right leg and around to buttocks. My leg and foot even tingle at times. I can barely walk it hurts so much due to the fact that I can t lift my leg...I basically have to drag it. When sitting or laying I can t lift leg either. When walking there is enormous amount of pain. I don t know if I tore something or if I strained something. Can you help?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan.Its treatment is rest in position of relief,generally lateral position with both knee bend,neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics such as Diclofenac three times a day after meals . Sometimes strong analgesic such as tramadol three times a day after meals is required. Omeperazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics .You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
