Pain And Numbness From Neck Through Foot. Indentation On Buttock. What Is Causing This?
I have been experiencing increasing sciatica symp. (pain & numbness neck thu foot ) on my right side for 8yrs or so, 6 months ago I noticed a 1 1/2 square indentation on my rt buttock/hip at the pelvis socket. It s now 2 sq and is hurting more. Doing anything for an extended period becomes unbearably painful. Whats causing this? Will it heal? OTC NSAID s don t have much of an impact.

Dear you are experiencing symptoms caused by discal herniation of cervical vertebrae.My advice is to take contact to a neurologist, put a cervical collar and do a cervikal MRI!If the result will show herniation and spinal suffering its time to think about surgery.You have nothing to be worried, disc herniation are fully curable.Wish you all the best, hope my advice has helped you
