Help ... Burning pain on right side near hipbone? Appendicitis? Or Sciatica?
-
Two weeks ago, I had a bacterial infection of my reproductive area. After that was treated, I developed a bacterial infection of my bladder or kidneys (on Cipro for this now). At any rate, after I was treated for my first bacterial infection, I've had a burning pain (not a stabbing pain; this feels like someone put a match to it) on my hipbone area, down to my glutes, and radiating down my leg on occasion, like sciatica. At first I thought it was appendicitis, but the pain would be much worse if it was ... but then again I don't know. It gets better the more I walk and is excruciating when I wake in the morning (unless I take 400 mg of ibuprofen gelcaps before bed). I have read that if bacteria from a primary infection gets into the sciatic nerve, it can cause problems. What do you think this is? (I am only 37 years old...and female)

Answer:
It sounds like Sciatic nerve pain. This especially happens to women who have been pregnant in the past. It doesn't at all sound like appendicitis, I assume you don't have a fever. Walking and stretching helps loosen up the large leg muscles in which the nerve is located. That's why those things help. Heat and or ice packs in 15 min. intervals for several times a day helps some. I had to have my Dr. inject a steroid into my hip. It doesn't hurt much at all. I'm a Paramedic and work at a Dr.'s office so now I actually inject my own hip every 6 months. That's just top show you that it doesn't really hurt much especially if he adds some lidocain into the shot. You can ask your regular general physician. It can be done in the office. The other thing is surgery, my sister is having that done tomorrow. That is usually only recommended if the shots don't work.
