A member asked:

I hurt my bak 2 days ago i have pain down my left leg now the pain is radiating to my abdomen. could this be related? what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: We call it radiculopathy. The nerves in the spine come out and fan out on the same side of the body to innervate parts of the body below it. If it's the lumbar and sacral spine can include the abdomen, the groin and associated areas and can from the sciatic nerve that goes down the leg. This all depends on the level(s) of injury.
