you need to see a neurologist. If it is ideed a pinched nerve, it should be evident to the neurologist thru testing and imaging. There are also minimally invasive surgical options available these days. Do not let it wait----nerve issues can become permanent even if the compression is relieved if you wait to long.

I experienced severe pain in my hip and left buttocks with numbness in my left calf and foot. I made an appointment with my neurosurgeon and was immediately scheduled for an MRI. The MRI showed arthritis around the facets and stenosis but didn't show any disc protrusion onto the nerve.
