Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. It has been cured, but I have shooting pain in my right calf, thigh, and buttock, which feels similar to sciatica symptoms. Is this sciatica? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis has no necessary connection with sciatica pain. This is not a systemic issue, and there is no relevance to the position of a post-mortem examination. Therefore, this situation should be unrelated. It might be an accident. Sciatica pain is generally caused by lumbar spine diseases, most commonly lumbar disc herniation. It is recommended to visit an orthopedics department for a check-up on the lumbar spine. If the sciatica pain is caused by a lumbar disc herniation, treatments such as traction, anesthesia, physical therapy, and massage may be required.For patients with prostatitis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to maintain a good mood in daily life. A positive attitude is very helpful for the recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
