Pain from hip to bone

Asked for Male, 63 years

My father has severe pain in his right leg that leads from hip bone to ankle, especially when he tends to stand after sitting. He also feels a bit numbness in that leg. Are these the signs of sciatica? Which doctor he should consult? P. S he has already consulted an orthopedic specialist and a neuro specialist who gave him painkillers which give him temporary relief for only 3-4hours.

Dear Patient,

Yes, that could be possibly what it is but it could be something else too- an MRI of the lumbosacral spine can give a clearer idea. Try seeing another neurologist if the current one wasn't helpful.
