What Causes Pain In Buttocks And Knee?
About a month ago, I fell mostly on my left side. Now, still, a month later, when sitting, I get severe pain going from my left buttock all the way to my knee, sometime I cannot stand to sit with pressure on it. I am a 45 year old woman. Riding in the car is very difficult, sitting in a chai also make the pain worse

Dear patient
buttock pain going upto knee and not relieved after one month post injury likely cause is radiculopathy pain. There might be swelling with compression on the nerve at the level of lumbar spine due to trauma. start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime and tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief. If not relieved please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
