Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Buttocks After Hip Replacement Surgery

I had a hip replacement surgery in May, when I woke up in recovery I was in severe pain in my butt area which they now say was the sciatic nerve. I have loss of motor skills and foot drop in the foot. I have had 3 MRI s and CT scan and they cannot find where or how the nerve was damaged. What are the chances that I will gain my motor skills and feeling back in my foot?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
please star with tab pregablin plus gabapentin once daily for 1 month.
what u r having is a sciatic neve injury.
also get a nerve study test and start with physiotherapy.
the nerve injury takes time to recover depending upon type od injury. if a complete injury is there then the recovery is slowest.
so please get a nerve study done and then report.
don't worry ..
take care
