Recurring back pains with the muscle connected to the left leg. should i consult a physiotherapist? tried applying creams but to no avail.suggestions?

See answer: Nearly everyone has low back pain sometime. Low back pain may reflect nerve or muscle irritation or bone lesions. Occurs most often between ages 30 and 50 related to aging, sedentary lifestyles, increasing risk of disc disease (pain down the leg), and spinal degenerative disease. Generally, always best to see an md first for proper evaluation and examination and then discuss best rx options.
