siatic pain and lower back pain radiating down legs and through the groin

Hello,

I suffered from the same condition what helped me and still does is called Trigger Point Injections. The doctor uses a long thin needle with lidocaine. The needle is injected into the knot of the muscle in the cheeck of the butt. The doctor knows which muscle to inject the fluid. For me I was said to have Myofasical Syndrome, the clear substance that wraps around the muscle gets stiff which causes the muscle to become hard. The needle when it penetrates through the muscle causes it to spasm which relaxes the muscle. Because when the muscles start becoming hard they start to affect other muscles which in my case did a chain reaction and the nerve is pinched and causes the pain you described. After 4 or 5 treatments I started to get relief after a year my pain was gone. I had suffered with this terrible pain for 2 years. I barely could walk and when I did I was slumped over and I could only walk a very short distance before I had to rest. I also suffer with fibromyalgia and most people have both conditions. I have to get injections monthly to prevent many muscles from getting hard and causing more pain. 

I hope your doctor knows what I'm talking about. Usually doctors treating patients in a pain clinic use this method for muscular pain and stiffness. Good luck, I'll pray for you.

Hi, recently diagnosed, suffering for 5 years with Fibromyalgia and Plantar Faciitis, and it’s destroyed my life.

As a married mother of 5 girls, grandmother of 1 boy, I just cannot do anything, or go anywhere, even before the lockdown, because I’m an in SO MUCH PAIN all day, every day. It’s relentless and soul destroying.                                    The (neglectful) doctors I saw (eventually) haven’t even mentioned the course of action that you spoke about. If I mention it to them, will that have to do that for me? 
I’d appreciate some help.

Many thanks. QT.
