A member asked:

I have pain in my lower back, groin and it radiates to the inside of my knee. rest doesn't help. it happens when i'm sitting and standing. thoughts?

Pinched Nerve: It sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. For now you can use heat to your back, ibuprofen and rest. You need to be evaluated if this does not resolve over the next couple of days or sooner if you have any problems urinating or defecating.
