What causes a problem with lower back (right side) down the leg to near ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sciatica: Nerves that run into the lower extremity stem from the lower back near l4, L5 and s1. This trio make up the sciatic nerve. If there is any pinching of that nerve at its source near the lumbar region of the back, it can radiate discomfort to the foot.
