  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Hello, you can take an appointment with a generalist doctor or a neurologist if you prefer to see a specialist.

  Good afternoon, it’s been a couple of weeks that my arm hurts, the pain starts from the bone to the left of the elbow. What specific examinations should I do and which specialist should I consult?

  • Hello,
    You can consult a physiotherapist and start a treatment based on movement and exercises, you'll need a prescription from your doctor first. You don't need to do any kind of imageries, eventually an echography, but not much more.
    You can also stop the movements that reproduce your pain (typing on your keybord for example).

  Hi, I am 36 years old male. I had L5-S1 surgery to remove the disc 5 years ago. I am having pain again in lower back and my legs since last 4-5 days.. I am resting but would like to know if it can be something serious. Should I go for MRI and diagnosis again or it is normal to have such episodes knowing the medical condition I have. Will I be normal again to live normal life ? Thanks in advance for Guidance

  • Hello,
    It's possible to feel this kind of pain again after such a surgery. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's something serious or that your pain is linked to this surgery. You can talk about it to your doctor and you can do some exercises for you back (core exercise, glute strengthening, low back strenghtening, etc).
