Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have temporary pain in left leg and buttock while doing regular activities . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons , but in your case t seems to me that the symptoms are due to Sciatica . Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, usually by a herniated disk in your spine or by an overgrowth of bone . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will take history and order CT scan, x-ray and MRI . Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory , muscle relaxants and tricyclic antidepressants . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy or steroid injection . For now apply warm compresses to lower back , buttocks and leg and take proper rest .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
