Patient's question:
Every 2 to 3 days after my period, I have some pain on the left side of my stomach. At first, it started with leg numbness, then gradually became painful, but it goes away after 2 to 3 days. This has been happening for 2 years now. I've had several ultrasounds, but no problems were found. It must be an issue with a specific meridian.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by lumbar spine lesions compressing the nerves, which can manifest as lower back pain or sciatica. Typical sciatica pain is radiating from the buttocks, back of the thigh, lateral calf to the heel or top of the foot. It is recommended to take an X-ray of the lumbar spine first and then treat accordingly.
