Constant And Intense Pain Down Both Legs, Starting Under Buttocks, Radiating Down The Thigh, Very Tight Hamstrings. Why Could This Be?

Hi Samual

I have pain down both legs, starting under the buttocks and radiating down the thigh, its a constant but intense pain, that does not subside.

I'm unsure as to how it occured, I woke up yesterday morning and the pain was there. My hamstrings are now very tight. I am a very fit 25 yr old, so this is a bit unusual.

hallo dear friend
i have studied your case
there might be muscle spasm due to sudden flexion of spine,or lifting heavy weight,or acute lumbar disc prolapse
this is you first episode or repeatedly having same problem
you need methylcobalamine , muscle relaxant with analgesic[myoril plus]

take rest , , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
you may need MRI SPINE if pain doesnt get relived
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
