Could be: new onset low back pain w/pain in the thigh and difficulty straightening lower spine could be a sign of a nerve root issue and should be checked out w/o delay. This could also be musculoskeletal only and could even be a GI issue masquerading as a neurologic problem. In any event. Don't delay. See the dr quick.
