[|Human|] hi I think may have sciatica. my lower back, spine, my left buttock, all the way down the back of my left leg and left ankle are incredibly painfull , my doctor as prescribed 400mg ibuprofen and 50 mg tramadol but neither are easing the pain. ive tried excercises on this website but I cant do any of them at all such is my pain I also work as a cleaner so im bending for approx. 4 hours per day which is agony. im on 12 week waiting list for the hospital checkup but I fear I will be crippled within days. This as been ongoing for 2 months now and is getting worse each day.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are having disc herniation in back and that is causing severe pain due to nerve compression. I would recommend you to get MRI to see what is the severity of course. If there is more than fifty percent disc herniation than you might need surgery.  If there is less than fifty percent herniation then medicinal treatment can be offered. It contains rest and tablet Pregabalin m one at nighttime. Physiotherapy should be started only when pain is controlled. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
