i have a pain in my left groin, left buttock and it is painful to walk. could it be a pinched nerve? it hurts to sit.

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pinched nerve: The description of the pain does fit a 'pinched lumbar nerve'. A lumbar spine MRI is the best test to check out the possiblility. You should get seen and you may get a prescription for Medrol (methylprednisolone) pack to help with the nerve inflammation.  Warning signs are bladder/bowel changes and/or severe weakness. Hope you are better soon!

Depends: This depends on what your imaging reveals.  Lumbar stenosis can cause back pain and pain into thighs which are worse with ambulation.  Decompression can help this with or without a fusion depending on your specific image and exam.  However you are very young for something like this to happen.  Please be seen and evaluated.

i have been to the dr recently for a potential pinched nerve/ muscle issue in my left hip, groin and into the knee area. the dr had me start gabapentin + methocarbamol, both cause me anxiety and panic attacks. any natural ideas to treat?

Accepted Answer

Alternative options: Your doctor did offer accepted treatments. Gabapentin needs to start low and build up,to,therapeutic levels over weeks e.g 100-200mg daily to 600mg 3 x daily.  NSAIDS like ibuprofen are good for your pain. Curcumin 2000mg daily can help the inflammation, stop red meat and corn products (inflammatory), and get an EMG of L leg to determine if this is a spine issue, and  benefit from different Rx.

Question 10

3 yrs after right side inguinal hernia open cut surgery. i still have pain likely due to pinched nerve or something.can it turn into something worse?

Accepted Answer

Time may tell...: Occasional nerve entrapment after inguinal hernia repair does occur, but its natural evolving healing reaches its max at around 2 yrs. Beyond that, further bettering is unlikely, but remains the same or even worse. So, selectively, open surgery to interrupt affected nerves (better under microscope) may help or stop the pain.
