Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Patient,



Pain in buttock on one side may be due to nerve compression at the lower lumbar spine. Since, it is not relieved by routine medications further investigation in the form of MRI of the lumbar spine with screening of buttock area is required to confirm diagnosis. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tab Pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. Take rest on hard bed. Avoid forward bending and weight lifting. You need to consult orthopedic surgeon with report.



Take Care
