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 son is 21 years old and has had persistent pain in back and leg for a long time. He has played soccer since he was 5 was on national soccer team. He is a little bull legged. Chiropractor says its sciatica nerve and says for 5000. he can treat. My son went to orthopedic surgeon for x ray and mri and surgeon saw nothing wrong that would cause pain. Where can he go for complete work up so we can figure out what is going on? Where should we turn next

As there is no orthopaedic problem detected then you should consult a physiotherapist. Also do back exercises. Maintain proper posture while sitting, standing, and sleeping. Sleep on hard bed.
