Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My question is I have had pain off and on for three years, at times quite severe. I still do my part job and house and yard work at age 81, BUT I m sick of the pain. It is in buttock and into hip area. At times runs into groin muscle. Often I have pain on outer thigh area and sometimes in shin area. Sometimes it goes into tingling in front of leg and arch of foot. One side only. I wonder if it might be periformis syndrome? I am seeing a chiropractor which keeps me going, but not a cure. PT here is hard to get into as over busy. I had acupuncture which did take care of it for a number of months, BUT can t afford that out of pocket expense anymore. What can I do??
Hello, Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. I suggets you get a MRI of lower lumbar spine as this seems a problem of that region ( discal hernia or degeneration) and see a neurologist. Dr. Selmani
