Yes: Back pain that radiates into one or both legs may be attributable to sciatica, which is caused by nerve root impingment in your lumbar spine. You should undergo a thorough evaluation, including history and physical and possible imaging and nerve testing to arrive at a diagnosis. Depending on the results of your evaluation, different treatment options may be recommended.
