Hi, i am a 42 year old woman and have been suffering now for 6 months with a bad back which radiates pain into my legs, i have weakness in my left leg and weird sensations in my hips. Also if i sit down for a while when i go to stand up my hip jutts to the left and it takes me a while to get straight again. I have had loads of different medication and also physio as well as accupuncture but nothing seems to help it. My doctor says that i just have to get on with it.
