Why Am I Experiencing Sharp Shooting Pain Right Side?

I m getting sharp shooting pain in right side..

1 Answer
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Joint Replacement Surgeon

Answered on 6th June '24

It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

My father is extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement

Male | 78

YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..
