What Causes Pain In The Buttock Radiating To The Leg?

I have chronic statica affecting my right butt and down my right leg. Yesterday while setting up in a chair for about 15 to 20 minutes my leg lost all feeling, like it was not there. I could not stand nor wiggle my toes nor move my foot side to side or up and down. When I went to stand it was like my leg was gone. After about five minutes it all went back to normal. Any thoughts? No thanks I retired Army and Tricare will cover my doctor said visit. My apologies for using up your time.

Hi,

Your consultant neurosurgeon somehow does not appear to be in agreement of the disk changes at L5-S1 level. Though, he mentioned clearly about L3-L4 and L4-L5 level changes.

Bowel issues can occur in lumbosacral radiculopathy, especially with the involvement of sacral roots. Please tell me what are the bowel issues that you are currently having so that I can answer this question appropriately.

Fistula can also be causing pain at the buttocks site you mentioned. I hope that your fistula treatment should improvement in the pain at this site. Though nerve radicles compression can also contribute towards the pain at this site how much role it is playing, can be told only if the pain persists even after the treatment of fistula.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
