Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think the origin of the pain in the leg is from the lower back. It might be a discal hernia or inflammation. I suggest you do a MRI of the lower back and see a neurology specialist for furthur treatment.
I wish you quick recovery.
