Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe back pain and fatigue which occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, usually by a herniated disk in your spine or by an overgrowth of bone on your vertebrae. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order X-ray , MRI , CT scan and electromyography . Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatories , muscle relaxant , tricyclic antidepressants and anti-seizure medications . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy along with steroid injection and surgery. Neurotropic medication like methylcobalamin and pregabalin will reduce pain. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
