Hi. I have no lower back pain. However, four days ago I felt a shooting pain travelling down the front of my right thigh and down to below my knee. This occurred whenever I stood up. The pain is very severe but can be relieved if I bend at the waist or sit down. The pain comes every time I try to stand and gets worst the more upright I stand or lean back. If I lean forward from the waist, this relieves the pain. Its the same when I lay down. The pain has sometimes come from my right groin and always goes to just below my right knee. The pain here is worse. I have tried massaging my right buttock and sometimes this causes an improvement but sometimes not. I don t know if I should continue to stand up and fight the pain or rest it.
