General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain. I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day to relieve the pain.

If the pain continues, you may need prescription painkillers such as Oxycodone. In such a case, you should consult a neurologist. I also suggest doing gentle stretching exercises to relieve.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
