• Causes of hip pain that radiates down the leg
• Bone fractures, nerve damage, muscle injury,
  inflammation or prior joint problems are common
  causes of lower back pain issues, leg injuries
  and hip problems which may result in hip pain
  radiating down the leg, says Dr Chirag Patel who

Hip Pain Radiating Down The Leg Here are the
Possible Causes

• Sciatica Common Reason for Hip Pain Radiating
  Down the Leg
• Sciatica also called lumbar radiculopathy is a
  pain that is caused due to compression of the
  sciatic nerve which originates from the lumbar
  spine and extends down to the back of the thigh
  through the pelvis.
• As a result, the first symptom that arises is the
  lower back pain that radiates through the hip,
  and spreads to the buttock, back of the thigh
  down to a foot.
• Numbness, weakness in the legs, and loss of
  bowel and bladder control are other symptoms of
  Sciatica.

• Causes Treatment for Sciatica
• Usually, Sciatica is caused by the compression of
  the nerve due to the bulging disk in the back.
• Other than herniation, the reason for pressure
  on the nerve can also include obesity, blood
  clot, nerve disorders or tumours, awkward sitting
  position or poor posture or even health
  conditions like diabetes or Lyme disease.
• Though mild Sciatica fades away with time there
  are cases where it can become severe resulting in
  hip pain that radiates down the leg.
• An orthopaedic specialist in Mumbai primarily
  focuses on decreasing pain and increasing the
  mobility of the patient.
• Medications (muscle relaxants) and physical
  therapy are prescribed and as last resort to
  treat Sciatica laminectomy and microdiscectomy
  are also looked upon as treatment options.

  leg pain worsens, senses weakness or numbness in
  the legs loses control of the bladder or bowel,
  or develops a high fever.
