General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. You have recently experienced severe back pain that is radiating down your left leg. This is worrisome for a herniated disk pinching the nerve going down your leg. I highly recommend that you se your medical provider and get proper imaging studies like an MRI and start treatment with physical therapy
