What Causes Severe Radiating Pain From The Buttocks To The Legs?
I have been having severe pain in my left buttocks that continues down my leg to my ankle. It seems to ease up when I sit or lay down. This has been going on for 2 weeks and has not eased up at all. I have had problems with sciatica in the past but doesn t usually last like this and isn t usually this sever. The pain is intense and sometimes almost feels like it s burning.

What Causes Severe Radiating Pain From The Buttocks To The Legs?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The radiating pain that you have can be related to a nerve root compression caused by protruding disc in the lumbar spine. I hope this information has been helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal
