Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Lower Back Pain Radiating Towards Hip And Leg?
I hurt my back 3 weeks ago and the pain was all lower back. I have seen the chiropractor several times since. My pain has been shifted from my back to down my right hip and leg. I can t actually walk correctly because it is like my foot will not move naturally. If I stand for too long of a time my hip begins to have excruciating pain on the outside?
Hai, As from your quote it seems to be compression in the sciatic nerve.compression in that nerve may give you pain in the leg and thigh. kindly take X ray to rule out any disc compression or prolapse. Visit a physician to assess the Straight leg assessment to rule out it.
Regards Dr.S.Senthilnathan
