A member asked:

Would back or neck pain cause other pain in the legs?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: You can have conditions of the spine that impinge or press on nerves going to the legs. A physician would be able to tell if the back / neck problem is associated with the leg pain or not.

See below: Leg pain can come from poor circulation, a pinched nerve in your back, or other causes. See your physician to get a thorough evaluation
