So glad I've found others going through similar symptoms as I am. I started having these symptoms about a week ago: Left lower back, left buttocks, left groin, with weakness and numbness to my left leg. I've been to the doctor a couple of days ago and am on prednisone, tramadol, and Robaxin. I have been doing some of the exercises she suggested and that helps a little. I'm now experiencing a moderate amount of pain to my left groin area. My ARNP thinks it is sciatica, arthritis, and possibly fibroids (I had x-rays of the back, left hip, and leg). I won't know for sure until I get the upcoming ultrasound about the fibroids. It is possible I may have to have an MRI as well. It is difficult to walk on my left side due to the pain. I have a pulling sensation while sitting and leaning back in a chair, lying down and turing in bed, or standing or walking.I took a couple of days off work  but I have to return to work on Monday (I am an RN) so it is difficult to do continuous walking on the floor with this pain. I've already prayed on it and I know it will be okay; it just sucks going through this because it is affecting my livelihood and my peace of mind. Be blessed everyone.

    I've had many cases of sciatica over the years.  Sounds like it to me.  The drugs are NOT the solution.  X-ray and chiropractor is least invasive.  Cured all my problems either instantly or within a few weeks.  Only one case was due to a bone spur crushing my sciatic nerve root at L4/L5.  That was fixed by a neurosurgeon doing a laminectomy.  Again...I've had this lots of times...sounds like sciatica.
