What Causes Pain Across My Back Going Down My Legs?

i have pain across my back going down my legs to my feet. i do have a bad back. I have a Metronic stimulator in my right hip for back pain. I never had this much pain before. It hurts when I get up from a chair or get out of a car. i can t seem to move for a moment or so. Can you tell me what is wrong or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you.

hi...
your symptoms are suggestive of probably instability of spine, which is also irritating your nerve roots to the leg. I would strongly suggest u to visit a spine surgeon who would go for Xrays and MRI of ur spine to see the site and significance of the pathology. Depending on that u would be put on medical or surgical management.
Thanks.
