Suggest Treatment For Sciatica Pain In The Buttock

I have been suffering sciatic like symptoms, except not running down the leg. VA has tried twice to inject the area without pain reduction. It is thought to be located in the right buttox bursa. I was released from hospital Saturday due to over dosing on pain medications Any other treatments available?

Hi,

You can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You can try drugs like gabapentin which is quite effective for neuropathic pain like sciatica.

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