You : You maybe describing sciatica. That is leg pain caused by a pinched sciatic nerve. Sciatica commonly presents with back, hip and leg pain and may be associated with numbness and tingling and weakness. Mri scan best shows a pinched nerve in the back. Treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, steroid injections and sometimes surgery. For more information see my health guide on lumbar disk herniations and sciatica. Good luck!

Sciatica: Sounds like a slipped or bulging disc at l5/s1 in the spine. See an orthopedic surgeon and get an mri.
