My mother is currently recovering from sciatica on her right side. She has been in terrible pain and we are trying to manage her pain with Norco and Tramadol. There has been little relief from the pain. She also has a terrible back including osteoporosis, arthritis, collapsed discs and stenosis. Today she started a new symptom which is a feeling of electricity in her upper right thigh when she standing or walking. It goes away after a few minutes when sitting.Should we be concerned?
Kindly take an appointment with an orthopedic specialist and see if you can discuss strengthening the muscles. Kindly use the hard surface to sleep and sit as will help the muscles to stay in an active state all the time. For the kind of things you have mentioned you need to definitely undergo to a physical therapist and ask for a help. He will surely help with your pain and other factors.
