[|Human|] I was diagnosed with sciatica. I had an mri done, doctor said mild inflammation and mild stenosis. I have incredible pain on the lower left side of my body (leg, buttocks, groin area) that started originally with low back pain. When I try to walk, the pain is unbearable. What kind of specialist should I be seeing for this? Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hello I have read your complaints, and it seems to be a case of compressive lumbar radiculopathy or lumbar canal stenosis. Management depends on clinical condition. Surgical management is done in case of unbearable severe pain not relieving on medication, loss of power, decrease in sensation or loss of reflex. As treatment, you can go for back strengthening exercises under physiotherapist guidance. Pain modulator Chat Doctor.  Also, some anti-inflammatory with muscle relaxant may be used for short duration. You may consult a neurologist or a neurosurgeon for expert advice. Hope you recover early. Wishing good health
