A member asked:

What would cause lower back pain on the right side, also shooting pains down my spine into my legs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain: A problem in the lumbar spine, either a disc or a bone spur, can cause pain and radiating symptoms in the leg. This is something that requires a physical examination and consultation with a doctor.
