Suggest Medication For Severe Pain In Left Leg

Severe left leg pain. Radiates from the knee up and down the leg. Hurts to stand on it, walk, sleep. I feel it all the time. 10 mg hydrocodone/acetominophin doesn t even help. Had exrays, not broken. Had an ultrasound yesterday. Help is you can? No car accident, no fall.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in left leg . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your the symptoms are probably due to sciatica . Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to lower back , hip area and leg several times a day and take proper rest . Consult orthopedic surgeon if condition not getting well . Doctor may recommend steroid injection , physical therapy , anti inflammatory or surgery in severe cases.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
