A member asked:

Severe back pains, sometimes while walking i feel like my left leg hurts also, can't step on it. what could be the reason? 21 y old female.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sciatica?: This might be sciatica (sciatic nerve impingement in the sacrum/pelvis) causing pain to shoot down the leg. Typically, it improves with time (days-couple of weeks). Rest, antiinflammatories.
