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.

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.

Dr. Praveen Tayal
