Asking For Self, Male 78, karachi
I have Sciatic nerve pain on back of both thighs for about 8-9 years. In the morning after bending for ablution the pain is excruciating. Usually both toes and around these feel numbness almost all day. Sometimes more or less but always. NSAID give relief but I avoid taking them. I walk almost every day in the morning for about 40 min. Walking gives relief. Knee pain is on bending I can't sit during prayers, use a chair for sitting. Can you help.

asslamo allycum, first about Sciatica, it is common in many persons . in your age mostly it is due to wear and tear in the spine. I had treated hundreds of patients in Pakistan and UK with simple measures, sometimes needs intervention. regarding knee pain it is mostly due to again wear and tear. there are number of treatments and last option is surgery. but in your case it is not too bad. If possible you can book an appointment with me . in shah ALLAH it will be OK
