Is Pain In The Buttocks, Thighs And Legs Indicative Of Sciatica Pain?
MRI needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The symptoms you refer do not have to be related. The pain in the buttocks, on the back of your thighs and down the leg is indicative of sciatic pain.
So I recommend you do an MRI of the spine as your doctor suggested.
The extreme fatigue, memory loss, and the double vision are very concerning and I strongly recommend you see a neurologist for further investigation.
MS is only a possibility. You will need blood work, a neurological exam and a head MRI done.
This would rule out gland disorders, such as diabetes and thyroid problems, metabolic disorders and neurological causes.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
