Suggest Medication For Severe Pain At Back Of Knee Upto Buttocks

My leg has started hurting today..a deep throbbing pain behind my knee that is going up to under my bum cheek. It only hurts when I stand (feels better when I walk or take my weight off of it). It hurts very quickly after I am standing. I am also pregnant.

Hallow Dear,

The description of your pain suggests that you may be having sciatica. It is a condition wherein, the pain is along the Sciatic nerve. This can happen due to pressure on the Sciatic nerve due to displacement of vertebra or intervertebral disc. Pain killers will give you some relief, however it will be temporary.

I would advise you to report this to spinal surgeon or neurosurgeon. You may have to get X-rays done, and if required, MRI also. If there is any disfigurement, get it corrected well in time. If ignored, it may progress to neurological affection of lower limb.

I hope this helps you.
