What Causes Tingling Sensation In Buttocks Radiating Down The Arm?

Hello Doctor, I am a male aged 48. I have always complained of bad back so in 2013, I did an MRI which revealed the following: Cervical spondylosis worse in C3/4. Bulging C2/3, C5/6 and C6/7 discs. Diffuse disc osteophyte complex in C3/4 abuts the cord and narrows the left lateral recess and right lateral foramen. Diffuse prolapse C4/5 abuts the cord; multiple bulging discs in T5/6, T6/7, T7/8, T8/9, T10/11, T11/12, and T12/L1. Small right lateral disc prolapses T1/2 and T2/3 are noted to attenuate the corresponding right lateral foramina. Of late, I have been experiencing a tingling sensation on my left buttock going down to my left leg. I have been told that it might be an onset of peripheral nerve damage or sciatica. Are these symptoms reversible as they are affecting my daily life... I am now put on medication of neurobion and mecomin.... are they safe? Are they side effects?

Hello,

It is typical neuropathic pain. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track. Continue neurobion and mecomin. In severe cases you might require steroid injection for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
