Dennis I had surgery on April 30 for about the same problem. I had a terrible pain in the left leg and the butt area, I tried the shots, therapy and everything else. finally I said I have had enough and had the surgery. After surgery I woke up with no pain. I stopped taking pain pills the second day after I came home and doing just great. I put up with this pain for almost a year and wish I had the surgery a lot sooner.

It sounds like sicatic nerve or a bulging disc,I had the same symptoms for over a year.I went to a chiro.DO not go to a Dr.they drug and cut you like they wanted to do with me!meanwhile my hip was out of wack from driving and sitting on a big wallet for years.I removed the wallet and the chiro.corrected my hip. .I would get it checked asap a disc could have slipped or be close to a rupture, which you dont want to happen!I just wanted to let other rv'ers and drivers to know; remove your wallets when sitting! your hip will form around it,Big problems!

I had a pain like that after turning a few years ago. I happened to be at my MIL and she took me to her chiropractor. He said I had one leg shorter than the other. When I got home my Dr. found I had kidney stones. Since my wife was an RN at the hospital I got a private room as a courtesy. The only room was on the pediatric floor. Every time I was good I got a popsicle.

Don't rely on medical advice from an RV forum. See your doctor if it does not improve or if your symptoms get worse.
