I Need Neurologist For Scatica Pain In My Left Leg
Question: I need neurologist for scatica pain in my left leg
Brief Answer:
Nerve compression is diagnosed after MRI scan.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Sciatica pain is related to a nerve root compression at the level of lower spine. The diagnosis is confirmed after an MRI scan. The treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms. Pain killers and oral muscle relaxants along with medicines like Gabapentin are helpful. Taking methylcobalamin supplements also help in case the serum Vitamin B 12 levels are low.
Lumbar traction and physiotherapy is needed to relieve the acute nerve root compression.
It is best to consult your neurologist for proper evaluation of the symptoms and prescription medicines.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
