Are you I'm very sorry: Sciatica is due to the management on the sciatic nerve or part of the sciatic nerve at its origin we're at exit the spinal cord and vertebra. First of all, you need an MRI to see if you have an L5 s1 or L5 and s1 pinch nerve due to a disc herniation. That would make it a surgical problem. You can also pinched sciatic nerve in your buttocks underneath the piriformis muscle. This is the spasmed. Formance muscle. Doesn't sound like your doctor feels comfortable treating painful conditions. That is a very complex political issue, through forward to going to hear. I suggest you see a doctor who does feel comfortable reading and diagnosing this. You definitely need an mri.
