A member asked:
Should i see a doctor for lower back pains that have been constitant for a week and a half pain shoots down front of my right leg.

Yes : Yes i would recommend you seeing your primary care doctor. You may benefit from anti-inflammatory and physical therapy. If it does not improve then i would recommend MRI scan and consultation with a spine doctor or spine surgeon. Good luck!
