How Can Severe Pain In The Buttocks And Legs Be Treated?
Hello, It could be due to neuropathic causes like sciatica. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
