What Can Be Done For Pain In Butt Area?

Hi I have a great pain deep in my butt area and it goes all the way down the leg to mid calf. I have been for xray and nothing out of the ordinary. Ive been to the chiro and now at the osteopath and am still in pain. I also take pain killers four times a day. Louise

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

It seems that you might be suffering from siatica. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body.
Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with just conservative treatments in a few weeks.
MRI is needed to establish the cause of sciatica, so that appropriate treatment can be prescribed. Sciatica do respond well to bed rest and analgesics (pain killer) and is right mode of treatment.
The definitive treatment depends upon the cause of sciatica.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
