Dear Avalon,

I looked up in Murphy's repertory:

Legs, sciatica.

There are many subrubrics, including right or left side, descending, rising from seat and many others. If we had more information, we'd be better able to decide. For instance, does he have complaints lying down in bed? Does he have to roll over to the painless side to get up? Is he better for hot showers or does warmth aggravate? Is he better for flexing his leg? Stretching his leg?
Is living in a damp environment a possible cause?
Does he have to lie in a particular way? Is there numbness involved? Does pressure help or make worse? Ruta and Colocynth look good, but we could have more to go on.
