Suggest Treatment For Sciatic Nerve Pain In The Buttocks
What is the best way to treat Siatic nerve pain in your left buttocks. X-rays and MRI do not show much of anything but a little extra fluid in the joint. Taking percocept for the extreme pain, but it still keeps me sitting down mostly which helps relieve a lot of the pain. Is there a procedure to remove that fluid that may be pressing against that nerve in the joint? Iam suppose to see a Ortho Dr. but have to wait 18 days to get his office.........I told them of the extreme pain.......take your pills and wait Mr. WOW what is that??

Most of the sciatic pain subsides if you give it some time and take physiotherapy along with medicines. If you cant tolerate pain then you have to undergo microdiskectomy procedure which removes the gel like fluid pressing on the nerves.
