What Causes Lower Back Pain With Radiating Pain Down The Thigh?
My lower back aches (I ve never suffered lower back pain before,) my waist area aches when I twist or bend, and I have sharp pains that run down the front of my thigh. Sitting makes it worse. I can only take small steps with that leg or else the pain stops me in my tracks. When it s not a sharp pain and I am at rest, there is still an ache. At night I moan in my sleep so much that my husband goes to sleep on the coach. What could this be?
