A Few: Pinched nerves (radiculopathy) in the lower back can radiate pain down the legs. However, there maybe iliotibial band syndrome as well, a tough band of tissue that goes from your hip to knee, if it becomes inflammed, then problems arise. A few orthopedic test in the office can help your doctor figure out which imaging studies to do next.
