What Does Pain In The Legs And Lower Back Indicate?

My legs have hurt since I was a young child. Starting in my lower back on either the left side or right and continuing down my leg in each joint to my big toe. Only my right or left side will hurt at the same time. Im 59 now and just lately it is getting a bit worse. Sleep, hot baths, heating pads and sometimes Motrin helps. What would cause this.

Your symptoms suggest a "pinched" nerve in your lower back, and pain that radiates down into the toes could be an issue with the sciatic nerve.

Your doctor can order a MRI of the lumbar spine for further evaluation.
