Why does my pain radiate from back to thigh?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 28-year-old woman. I am suffering from a radiating pain that spreads from the back to the lower half of the body. I have had this issue for a year. It aggravates me when I ride a bike. Occasionally, the pain may also radiate upward. If I keep hard items then I get some relief. I am taking muscle relaxants for pain relief. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your symptom profile with long duration of pain unsettled after muscle relaxant points towards disc herniation as a probable etiology. You need to visit an orthopedic surgeon for neurological examination to look for signs of neurological impairment and get an MRI scan of lumbo sacral region of the spine. Further treatment depends up on both findings of the examination and the MRI images.
Thank you.
