  • Sharp, shooting pain in my right leg

    Hi Yes, indeed this maybe the case. Sciatica or root irritation pain will follow the dermatomal distribution of the nerve root involved so the exact area involved helps the diagnosis. An MRI lumbar spine and clinical evaluation will be needed prior to considering management options.
