What Does Pain From The Buttocks To The Right Leg Indicate?
I am being treated for low back pain- physical therapy and chiropractic services- electrical manipulation and heat- and I seem to be getting worse- pain in right buttock radiating down right leg into foot. The 3 times I have had electric stimulation, I am worse. Sitting is the most painful. I am working with doctor to get an MRI. Can chiropractic treatments be more harmful than good at this point?
