A member asked:

What is the cause of excruciating pain in my left leg from hip to ankle?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Radiculopathy?: Radiculopathy or sciatica is one thing. This is pain that is actually starting in the back, think a pinched nerve. I would think this to be one of the more common reasons.
