I have severe buttock pain, buttock numbness, right leg pain, calf and foot craps, foot pain, arm weakness, and facial numbness. The doctors have told me I have sciatica but with everything that is going on I do not fix a typical sciatica DX. I have had lab test and MRIs and nothing comes up.

GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR asap! I live with chronic pain from a car wreck, Ive done therapy, Ive had surgery, Ive taken all kinds of pills.....Im better in ways, but have lived like this for 5 yrs, along with another illness.
I have neck pain, arm pain, back pain, leg pain, I had severe sciatica, thats why had surgery. Im better that way too, BUT recently the sciatica came back....my sister talked me into going to a chiro. I had always been against them. Well, I went, the sciatica is gone.
I still live with pain and still take pain meds, but this guy helped me sooo much.

I have the same problem and I researched yoga and found a site that may help. http://www.yogajournal.com
I found some great yoga poses that help stretch the buttocks to help alleviate some of the pain and some to stretch the hip flexors. I feel great after holding the poses for a couple minutes. Hope it helps.

I bet the doctors are giving u alot of meds,, telling you to excerise and move that sciatic nerve around, huh.. I know to much about it an i hate it... I fell and hurt my back and my spine,, and dealt with that for over 2 years,, they filled me up with all kinds of drugs and kept me that way til i refused to take anymore. On my xrays mine didnt come up either, i've seen so many doctors and so many pain management doc, and so many physcail therapist that i couldnt take anymore pain, So i quit,, i quit taking the meds an i quit all the therapy and I had all the symptoms you have and it is sciatic. first go to a another doctor. and get off all those meds. believe it or not they are to make u quit hurting,, but they weaking u instead of making you stronger,, i know this because of all the meds they had me on.. i thought i wouldnt be able to function without them,, i was wrong, all it took was for one doctor to make me mad enough. and refuse anymore therapy when i couldnt move after they manilupated me enough. So here i am with 5 disk messed up pushing on the sciatic nerve and i swam and walked and moved enough to where it hurts some days but for the most part im not full of drugs that make u weak.. and im doing better, Trust me i feel your pain but the meds make u nurse it instead of being active and using your mind.... Biofreeze and heat and ice,, and putting me thru to much to fast. like i said it took me 2 years to get better and i got better in the last 6 months without anything but me! good luck hope u think about this,, cuz i know what the meds did to me!
