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.
I have had some lower back pain for a few days. went to urgent care Monday they did urine culture came back clean. have an appointment with my regular DR Tuesday, got a bad cramp in left leg today. No fever just some pain in lower back for days and now leg. anything that I should go to ER for or wait until Tuesday. not excruciating but hurts
Hi..Can understand your concern.As per your query about cause of pain in back and left leg can be probably due to neurological problem like compression or entrapment of any nerve.There may some injury can also cause pain but probability of neurological disorder is more.To confirm this you need investigation like x ray and MRI to be done and a neurologist should be consulted.Till then if pain is more you can take analgesic like aceclo MR twice a day with multi vitamin neurobion forte once a day for few months.Regular exercises or physiotherapy will be helpful.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
