Why Causes Lower Back And Hip Pain?

Why does my lower back/hip area hurt all the time? It is worse when I lay down or sit for long periods of time, and my left leg will go numb. I also have shooting pain down my left leg. My back feels like it can t support my upper body very well. Also it hurts my back when I try to have a bowel movement. I have been to the doctor numerous times and they had said it could be sciatica but I feel like it is more than that?
