What Causes Pain In The Lower Back Radiating To The Left Hip?

I have pain shooting from my low back to left hip, down to my calf and foot. At times I cannot bear weight on left leg. Now I have just had a very sharp pain in my foot that made my toes curl up and my foot was contorted. It lasted about 15 seconds. I had X-rays taken two days ago That were essentially normal. I m very frightened.

I really appreciate your concern, the given symptoms of pain could be due to sciatica and it is nothing to frightened, with proper posture during sleep and lumber support, and with NSAID like Diclofenac pain will be subsided, it is advisable that for confirmation of disease MRI is must, along with Diclofenac Chlorzoxazone tab can be used, hope this information helps.
