Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation From The Hip Down To The Thigh And Knee

I have burning from my left hip or buttock down my left thigh to my knee. I can t sleep because of the pain. I ve rubbed pain oils, creams, and spray pain relievers and none work. I take Naproxen tabs that don t help and my Dr. changed my pain med to Meloxicam but that doesn t help either. I has gotten worse in the last 4 days. I have even tried drinking a little pickle juice but no help. I just want to be able to sleep and walk without the burning pain. I feel like an 80 yr.old lady, and i m only 56.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

The possibilities are a neuropathic pain as in sciatica.

As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

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