A member asked:

I have a pinched sciatic nerve& the top of my butt down to my butt cheeks has went numb with no feeling? do i need 2 to go 2 er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not.: You should see an orthopedic surgeon to see why you are getting these symptoms. If it is just nerve compression, it is not anything serious unless you have muscle weakness.
