I am having pain on the left side,down my leg,my lower back and sometimes it feels like the pain is in my butt. It happens like 3 to 4 times per month. I take pain tablets and it goes away. But the pain is really bad and I really need to know what is the reason for this?

Hi
Thanks for writing your query
Going by the pattern of pain it is called sciatica.The most likely cause may be pinched nerve,spine arthritis,sacroilitis and so on. You need to be examined by a doctor to confirm the cause and for further treatment.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query
